Winter Storm Brings Snow to New England, Interior Northeast as It Winds Down Friday

Winter Storm Iggy will spread its snowfall across parts of New England and the interior Northeast to end the week after blanketing portions of the West, Plains and Midwest over the past few days. Iggy is producing snow from the eastern Great Lakes to Maine right now. Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service for the ongoing snowfall in those areas. Hazardous travel is the main impact to expect from Iggy for the locations in those warnings and advisories.

Parts of upstate New York and northern New England have the best chance at picking up a few inches of additional snow on Friday. Some light slushy amounts are possible in a few areas from Massachusetts westward along the New York Thruway into northeast Ohio.

Iggy entered California Jan 15-16 and then spread across the mountain West. The storm added to the existing heavy snowpack in California's Sierra Nevada. Flagstaff, Arizona, picked up nearly 3 feet of snow over four days from a combination of Iggy and another system that preceded it.

Denver International Airport had its heaviest snowstorm of the season so far after Iggy dropped 9.2 inches of snow Jan. 17-18. A foot of snow, with waist-deep drifts and whiteout conditions were reported just east of Denver, where a stretch of Interstate 70 was closed.

Iggy's heaviest snow east of the Rockies buried portions of Nebraska under nearly two feet of snow in central parts of the state.

Iggy delivered 13.9 inches of snow to North Platte, Nebraska, on Jan. 18, making it the city's snowiest single day on record. The previous record was 12.6 inches set on Nov. 15, 1909, and March 21, 1894, according to weather historian Christopher Burt.

East of there, Iggy blanketed other parts of the Midwest and northern Great Lakes with 6 inches or more of snowfall. That includes northern Iowa, southeast South Dakota, southeast Minnesota, northern and western Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
