Heavy snowfall creates hazardous conditions in Northeast
Intense snow bands are currently impacting the Northeast, as tracked by advanced radar systems. These bands, depicted in deep purple on weather maps, are characterized by tight corridors of heavy snowfall capable of depositing several inches of snow in a short period. This rapid accumulation can lead to sudden whiteout conditions, significantly reducing visibility and making driving extremely hazardous.
