A blizz Kenan is expected to pelt the East Coast with heavy snow and strong winds, causing blizzard conditions in some regions.

From Virginia to Maine, a severe nor’easter was forecasted for Friday night and Saturday.

The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings from the Delmarva Peninsula to coastal Jersey, and from far eastern Massachusetts to coastal Maine. These warnings include Boston, Portland, Maine, and Atlantic City, New jersey.

On Friday afternoon, nearly 75 million Americans were under winter weather alert, including the Chicago metro area, which had its own lake-effect snowstorm.

Any travel in the blizzard and winter storm warning regions on Friday night and Saturday should be avoided at all costs.

AccuWeather’s chief meteorologist Jon Porter described the East Coast storm as a “dangerous, life-threatening storm,” with a blizzard expected in southern New England.

This is going to be a very strong snowstorm with snowfall rates ranging from 2 to 4 inches per hour across eastern New England, according to the National Weather Service. “Thunder and lightning are likely to accompany these powerful bands.”

Lake effect snow is dumping a tone of snow on the city of Chicago.

Travel could be “almost impossible” due to blowing snow, according to officials. Eastern New England could be battered by a storm that could dump more than three feet of snow and gusts of up to 90mph.

Concerns were raised about possible power outages due to the high winds. There are hundreds of more repair crews being deployed by the power company that supplies most of New England to areas that are predicted to be hardest damaged by the storm.

Bread, eggs, milk, and other staples were in high demand across New England grocery shops on Friday, with lines forming to empty the shelves.

a severe weather warning was issued by the National Weather Service “Coastal flooding and beach erosion will also be a problem.

After the storm, wind chills are expected to drop dangerously low, making Saturday night potentially deadly. Colder-than-zero wind chills are possible in Boston this week.

“This has the makings of a historic storm,” stated the weatherman “Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston, made the remarks at a press conference on Friday morning.

Boston is under a snow emergency starting at 9 p.m., when parking on key city streets is prohibited. During the month of January, the city has not had a snowstorm that delivered more than 2 feet of snow. Axios claimed that if the snowfall totals rise above 28 inches, it will be the city’s heaviest snowfall ever.

In New York City, the National Weather Service predicts that the storm could dump up to a foot of snow on the city.

The number of flight cancellations was expected to rise to its highest level in three weeks on Monday. More than 1,000 flights had been cancelled by lunchtime Friday in the United States, according to tracking service FlightAware, and about 2,500 had already been cancelled for Saturday. A number of major hubs, such as those in Chicago, New York City, and Boston, were particularly heavily struck.

The storm is dubbed a nor’easter because of the way the winds are blowing as it advances up the coast from the Atlantic Ocean. A “bomb cyclone,” a storm that rapidly accelerates due to “bombogenesis,” is also a possibility.
