The storm which brought rough weather and destructive and even deadly tornadoes to Florida yesterday is bringing snow up the East Coast and for me anyway, a surprise patchy light covering for DC up into Philly. Both BWI and DCA airports in Washington recorded their first measurable snow of the season.

Modelling picked up on these light accumulations late on.

Central Park too saw their first snow while others remain at 0.0.

Even the beaches turned white for the first time this winter.

This was Atlantic City, NJ earlier.

Ocean City, NJ this evening.

It’s going to be a cold upcoming 48 hours for the Northeast with sub zero wind chills likely to reach DC.

I believe tomorrow is the first day stuck in the 20s from DC to NYC.

GFS surface shows the arctic air a little further east and enough to bring frozen precip on the coastal lows western flank.

Meanwhile up in the Midwest, it was a frigid open to Sunday with Fosston, MN dipping to -36 overnight.

Afternoon air temp and wind chill isn’t much better at 1pm either.

Core of cold slides into the Ohio Valley tomorrow with one more bone-chilling night for Minneapolis where we could see another -14 or -15 Mon AM, possibly -8 in Chicago and then a run at the first single digits for Philly, NYC and Boston Tue AM.

Looks like a more significant snow event is shaping up late week into next weekend for the Big Cities of the I-95.

GFS is printing out some decent snow totals too.

5-6 days out is still a long way off…

Unable to do a video tonight but promise to have one tomorrow morning!
