Cold blast brings heavy snow to the Northeast and deep freeze to the South

A powerful winter storm is bringing heavy and blustery snow to the Northeast and hammering the nation's eastern third with strong winds, and will usher freezing temperatures, which could trouble crops in the South.
Roughly 42 million Americans across the eastern US are under some kind of winter weather alert.
About 4 to 8 inches of snow are forecast from the southern Appalachians to New England Saturday into early Sunday. However, areas of high elevation in the interior Northeast could see up to a foot of snow.

Eight inches or more already had fallen by late Saturday morning in parts of eastern Kentucky, southeastern Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania and upstate New York.

Especially intense snowfall -- 1-2 inches per hour -- are possible into early afternoon in parts of eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, eastern New York state, and western New England.

"New Yorkers should do their best to stay off the roads during this time," New York Homeland Security and Emergency Services Commissioner Jackie Bray said Friday ahead of the storm.
In Pennsylvania's Cumberland County, where there's continuing snowfall, strong wind gusts and low visibility, at least 73 vehicles were involved in a crash and multiple people were injured by Saturday afternoon, State Trooper Megan Ammerman said on Twitter. "AVOID THE AREA," Ammerman wrote.

Lines of thunderstorms hit elsewhere in the East Saturday, including Florida and the Carolinas. And the whole system has been accompanied and followed by strong, potentially damaging winds.
Wind advisories were in effect early Saturday afternoon for more than 90 million people from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast, where gusts of up to 50 mph are possible through Saturday evening.....................

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
