TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — A major spring storm was expected to start dropping more than a foot of snow in parts of New England on Wednesday night, while heavy rains soaked the East Coast and cleanup work continued in several states wracked by tornadoes and other severe weather blamed for at least two deaths.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for several states in New England, where 7 to 18 inches (18 to 46 centimeters) of snow were expected with some local amounts topping 24 inches (61 centimeters) at higher elevations. Parts of New Hampshire and Maine were expected to see the highest amounts.
A mix of rain and snow was falling throughout the region by early evening and was expected through Thursday night in many areas.
Maine officials warned the storm was expected to cause difficult travel conditions, power outages and minor coastal flooding.
