Winter Storm Harper is already pummeling parts of the West with heavy snow and will spread its mess of snow, ice and wind into the Plains, Midwest and Northeast into this weekend.
Harper's heaviest snow, so far, is in the Sierra Nevada of California. Early Thursday morning, Lone Pine, California, reported 5 inches of snow had fallen in just 2 hours.
That storm will tap into cold air once it moves through the central and eastern states Friday through the weekend, delivering a widespread swath of significant snow.
[...]
Winter storm watches and warnings and winter weather advisories have been posted by the National Weather Service from the northern and central Plains eastward through the southern Great Lakes and into the Northeast.
Cities included in the winter storm watches or warnings include Chicago, Milwaukee, Boston, Hartford, Providence, Pittsburgh, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland and Des Moines.
In other words, air travel is going to be severely impacted with many delayed or cancelled flights. Even if your flight is not in the storm area, the plane may be delayed in coming from someplace that is. Better leave early on your tropical vacation.

Winter is Coming. Tell me about it. I'm at the White House, almost by myself. I'm not alone, I have the horrible cold & snow to keep me "company." I'm waiting, very patiently, for the Dems to fund the Wall (Barrier). And I'll wait as long as I have to. I'll do whatever I have to. But I'll tell you, I could really use a little of that good old Global Warming right now. While Melanie & Barron are in Florida. In sunny warm Florida. Declare State of Emergency??
