"Winter Storm Ember to Blanket Northeast with Snowy Weekend Forecast"

A significant winter storm is expected to hit the East Coast over the weekend, potentially delivering over a foot of snow in some Northeast areas and ending a two-year snow drought in major cities. The National Weather Service warns of travel difficulties, power outages, and coastal flooding. While interior regions brace for heavy snowfall, major cities like New York and Philadelphia may see less accumulation with a mix of rain and snow. The storm marks a notable shift in weather patterns after an extended period without significant snowfall in the region.
