Chicago O’Hare was hit especially hard, reporting more than 1,000 cancellations. Travel was also severely disrupted in Indiana, where a 45-car pileup on I-70 occurred amid heavy snowfall. These conditions set the stage for what forecasters warn could be the season’s next major system.
The National Weather Service defines a Nor’Easter as a storm that travels up the East Coast with strong northeast winds, most common from September through April. These systems can bring widespread damage, coastal flooding, and major travel delays. Historic examples include the Blizzard of 1888, the Ash Wednesday storm of 1962, and Boston’s intense 2015 snowstorms.
Meteorologists at Fox Weather are currently monitoring a low-pressure system developing in the western U.S. It is expected to bring snow to the Rockies and High Plains through the weekend before shifting toward the Midwest on Monday, where it could produce light snowfall and minor travel issues.
By Tuesday or Wednesday, the system may strengthen into a Nor’Easter as it moves offshore along the East Coast. Early projections indicate heavier snow may fall along parts of the I-95 corridor, potentially affecting Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City.
