Heavy snow is expected to blanket large portions of the Eastern U.S. while much of the country will endure dangerously cold temperatures in the coming days.

On Sunday at 9:36 a.m. an updated winter storm warning was issued by the National Weather Service valid from 10 a.m. until Monday 1 a.m. for Carbon, Monroe and Northampton counties.

Clouds quickly thicken today and we are expecting our first significant snow of the season to start early this afternoon. At this point, it looks like 4-8 inches is the total amount of powder most of the state will get.
