US: Early-season winter storm shifting north, 335 000+ customers without power, travel disruption

An early season winter storm, named Avery by The Weather Channel, continues to spread snow from the mid-Mississippi River Valley into the Ohio Valley today, November 15 along with potentially significant icing for the central Appalachians and a risk for heavy rain along the coastal Mid-Atlantic. The storm will shift north tonight with heavy snow and icing impacts shifting across much of the Northeast. 

Nearly 400 000 customers across the region were without power today and yesterday. As of 14:00 CST (20:00 UTC) today, 335 127 customers are still without power. 107 448 in Ohio, 95 581 in Kentucky, 70 594 in Indiana and 61 504 in Virginia.

At least two people were killed and 44 injured when a bus overturned on an icy Interstate 269 in Byhalia near Memphis, Mississippi on November 14. At least three of the 44 injured are in critical condition.

"Witnesses told investigators that the driver lost control after crossing an icy overpass and the bus rolled over on the driver’s side, coming to rest in the highway median," said Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Capt. Johnny Poulos.

Three people were killed in separate crashes on icy roads in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Near record-breaking cold swept into the South and brought snow as far down as the Deep South, hitting Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Texas, for example, recorded temperatures 14 °C (25 °F) or more below average.
Houston, TX recorded its earliest snowfall ever on November 14, breaking its previous record for first observed snowfall set on November 23, 1979.

St. Louis, MO area received up to 152 mm (6 inches) of snow by 06:00 CST on November 15, with more continuing to fall, the weather service said. Union received 63 mm (2.5 inches) within just 4 hours to 06:00 today.

"Many locations from Virginia to New York have received noteworthy early season snow, with some inland locations getting in excess of 6 inches thus far." 

This storm system will continue lifting northward along the coast and bring widespread inland snow from Pennsylvania to Maine, with the possibility of 305 mm (1 foot) or more of snow accumulation for parts of upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania.

Winter storm warnings are currently posted from eastern West Virginia to western Maine, and winter weather advisories extend westward to include parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region.
