There's no need to panic about the bread and milk—nothing that looks this beautiful from space could ever really harm us. NOAA released this satellite photograph taken today as its Image of the Day:
A major winter storm in the process of developing is bringing snow to the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Blizzard Warnings are in effect for the coastal areas from New Jersey to Maine. A new surface low will develop along the North Carolina/southeast Virginia coast this morning and intensify rapidly as it moves northeastward off the mid-Atlantic coast. From there the storm will move along the northeast coastline from Monday night into Tuesday bringing a significant amount of snow and blustery winds across the northeast and New England causing blizzard conditions. Snow totals of 1 to 3 feet will occur from the New York City area into southern and eastern New England.
It's snowing now, but the blizzarding won't begin in earnest until late tonight, likely after midnight. So say goodbye to your friends in Connecticut forever.
