As people across the eastern United States prepare for this weekend’s winter storm, here’s what we know:
What is it?
“A potentially crippling winter storm,” according to the National Weather Service, which forecasts heavy snow and high winds across the northern mid-Atlantic region, including Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and New York City.
When’s the worst?
The storm has already brought freezing rain, ice and snow to Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. The heavy snow should begin falling Friday afternoon in Washington, and keep falling into Sunday as it moves up the coast.
Is Washington ready?
Many have doubts after a light dusting caused commuter chaos Wednesday night, prompting the mayor to apologize for a weak response.
