A day after a storm dumped more than a foot of snow, causing tens of thousands of people to lose power and stalling air and rail traffic, weather-weary Northeast residents braced for a repeat — a second storm packing potentially damaging wind gusts up to 50 mph and possibly more than another foot of snow.
The second part of the two-day, 1-2 winter punch was expected Thursday, and the National Weather Service said the storm would be “significant and long-lasting.”
As much as a foot of snow was expected in Philadelphia, which has had its snowiest winter with more than 70 inches and is still digging out from back-to-back storms around the beginning of this month. The Albany area, which was pounded by Wednesday’s weather, can expect more of the same for a second day, and the western Catskills could get up to 20 inches of snow.
Even before a flake fell, the impending storm set off some sharp exchanges among competing forecasters, with one warning of a “snowicane.”
