We\u2019re starting the New Year off with a bang in the form of Winter Storm Grayson. The next weather threat heading our way is a phenomenon called a \u201cbombogenesis.\u201d This\u00a0occurs when a system\u2019s central pressure plummets dramatically \u2014 \u201c24 millibars or more \u2014 in 24 hours\u201d according to Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, it\u2019s a hurricane. A winter hurricane.\u00a0 The same high winds (up to 80 mph) and the same precipitation,\u00a0but with snow instead of rain.<\/p>\n

Because what could be more exciting than a hurricane and a blizzard all rolled into one kick-bootie storm?<\/p>\n

The entire East Coast is at risk, from the northern part of Florida all the way up into Canada. The Southern US will get some snow and wind on Wednesday, and New England will be hit hard on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u2026ice has already formed on fountains in some southern cities, including Savannah, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

In northern Florida and southern Georgia, a dangerous mix of snow and ice are in the forecast for Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Residents of cities including Tallahassee, Florida, and Valdosta, Georgia, may see up to an inch of snow on the roadways during the Wednesday morning commute\u2026<\/p>\n

Through Wednesday the low pressure will ride up the East Coast, bringing a wintry mix of snow and ice through Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Georgia and the Carolinas may see 1 to 3 inches of snow\u2026<\/p>\n

The storm will strengthen as it moves north overnight Wednesday. By Thursday morning, there will be heavy snow across the Mid-Atlantic coast, including Philadelphia and the New Jersey shore.<\/p>\n

The Mid-Atlantic is forecast to have about 3 to 6 inches of snow, with lower amounts inland and higher amounts near the coast.<\/p>\n

The snow will continue north Thursday. Long Island and New England \u2014 especially Maine \u2014 may get over 6 inches of snow. (source<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
