We also have meteorologist Becky DePodwin on to talk about the upcoming winter storm heading toward the U.S. East Coast. With the potential for blizzard conditions along the shore, this classic winter nor’easter will affect areas from Virginia all the way up to Maine and into the eastern provinces of Canada.
