California's latest winter storm was tapering off early Wednesday, but dangerous conditions persisted, including widespread freezing as skies cleared in the north.
The heavy snow was expected to end Wednesday afternoon after an additional one to two feet falls in the region, according to the National Weather Service. Homeless people and those without electricity were at special risk from the cold, the weather service said. "The system is going to be moving generally east-northeast and fairly fast, so it's going to cross the country in a few days," said meteorologist David Roth. Six to 12 inches of snow could eventually fall in upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, Roth said.
In Arizona, snow began falling Wednesday morning from a storm that was expected to dump 18 inches to two feet of snow in northern areas of the state by Thursday morning, the weather service said.The weather service said Flagstaff received nearly 33 inches of snow in February, just shy of double the city's annual average of 18.6 inches for the month, and has already received 118 inches of snow this year, topping the annual average of 90.1 inches , with 10 months of the year remaining.
