The massive storm expected on Thursday began two days ago in the Gulf of Mexico, first hitting the Florida panhandle. They include the Delmarva Peninsula, which includes parts of Delaware, Virginia and Maryland; coastal New Jersey; eastern Long Island, New York; and coastal eastern New England. Winter storm warnings stretched as far south as South Carolina on Wednesday night, but National Weather Service Meteorologist Dan Peterson said the storm should be over by early Thursday in the southern states. For most of Thursday, he said, the storm will impact the Northeast, with Boston possibly getting up to 35 cm of snow. In Charleston, South Carolina, the weather service reported 12 cm of snow, enough for Chris Monoc’s sons, ages 4 and 2, to go sledding outside their home.
