CNN/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.
