Blizzards are possible across portions of eastern New England from late Thursday, where some areas could see 12 to 15 inches (30-38cm) of snow, the National Weather Service (NWS) said. Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency for 28 counties after the National Weather Service issued the winter storm warning. “Hazardous travel is likely.” The weather service has issued a winter storm warning from northern Florida to North Carolina. His office said cold weather shelters have opened or are planning to open in 22 of the state’s 67 counties. But in many parts of Alaska, a state known for its harsh winters, the weather was unseasonably warm.
