East Coast hit with wet, heavy snow

An unseasonal date for a type of storm more associated with midwinter has hit the east coast already, bringing problems to an unprepared community out east.  Communities inland in mid-Atlantic states were getting hit hardest. Heavy snow was falling in western Maryland, and the Frostburg area could receive 8 or 9 inches. Along the Blue Ridge Mountains between Hagerstown and Frederick, significant snowfall was also expected.

Officials warned that the heavy, wet snow combined with fully leafed trees could lead to downed tree branches and power lines, resulting in power outages and blocked roads. The storm also led to delays at several airports Saturday morning. Flights were delayed at Newark, N.J., and flights headed to New York's Kennedy and LaGuardia airports or Philadelphia's airport weren't allowed to depart until early afternoon.
