So where did all those boxes go . Well show you what happens to the mountain of cardboard leftover from your holiday purchases. But we begin this morning with todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Its been brutal. Chilling. It really stings the face. The major storm begins roaring up the east coast.

Does not take up the eastern half of the country. Along the shore where we are going toe see the largest totals. Where the storm is currently, its off to the south. South carolina and north carolina, seeing snow. Rain on the radar. At least picking up by the radar out around the outer banks. But it transitions to the winter mix and snow and north carolina. That headed to our area. The clouds in the afternoon the leading edge there. How much snow, as you mentioned, up to two inches around the d. C. Metro. I think its potentially on the higher side. But i certainly see it in the range of the possibility. You go farther east. Even in our area, st. Marys county. Two to four inches possible. Areas that are farther east seeing more than that. Temperature wise is warmer today. We got above freezing. But we are right back down to 32. So all surfaces will hold it as snow. Everything will be below freezing. We will continue to break down the timing specifically and move ahead to the temperatures

But down to the south, not only is it hitting the ground, its coming down big time around charleston. Some locations picking up three to six inches from the snow already and now were looking at areas south of raleigh arou
Going to have a big impact, especially on coastal areas, because of the winds involved, and thats why in the red, you see blizzard warnings, all the way from norfolk, up through the many portions of the eastern shore, to ocean city, to cape may, to up long island, and eventually up to boston. Thats because the winds will be such a big factor out there, and yes, the snow will be significant at the coast, it could be Something Like five to 8 inches. It will be lighter here, here in our area, we are under Winter Weather advisory. It could be anywhere farther west from dusting to maybe an inch or two as you get closer to i95. So, in terms of snow, this will have an impact because it will be coming at the time of the morning rush hour. And by the way all aase it later tonight in southern maryland.
