Meteorologist Henry Margusity delivers a stark update, confirming that winter has returned with a vengeance after a major storm system brought widespread snow and ice to nearly half of the country. The immediate forecast highlights a departing system still dropping snow in the Northeast, followed by lingering cold air and a series of clipper systems bringing light snow to the Great Lakes and Midwest throughout the week. A potentially significant coastal storm is also being monitored for the upcoming weekend, which could impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, though forecast models currently di[…]

Meteorologist Henry Margusity issues a stark warning for a severe winter storm developing Friday night in the Southern Plains and tracking northeast through the weekend. While weak clipper systems are currently bringing light snow to the Midwest, a massive arctic high is pushing freezing air southward, setting the stage for a dangerous ice event across the South—including Atlanta, Shreveport, and Houston—where significant ice accumulation, power outages, and travel shutdowns are likely. As the system moves northward by Monday morning, it is expected to dump heavy snow along the I-95 corridor, […]

Are ice cleats safe to wear indoors? In most cases, the answer would be no, traditional ice cleats are designed for a sole purpose: preventing slip and fall incidents on icy surfaces.

Once they get inside, it’s a whole different story. Read on to learn why most ice cleats are not meant for indoor wear, and to find out m[…]

Meteorologist Henry Margusity reports that the weather pattern remains stuck in a two-month-long cycle of weak "clipper" systems moving rapidly from Canada through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. This relentless "conveyor belt" is bringing daily chances for snow showers and heavier squalls, including a system passing through today and another targeted for Tuesday night into Wednesday. While most areas will see only light coatings, heavier snow accumulations are expected across Upstate New York and Northern Michigan as these fast-moving disturbances continue to track east. The intensity[…]

A more significant system is close behind, targeting the Great Lakes and Northeast from Tuesday night into Wednesday with heavier snow—particularly for Upstate New York and Northern Michigan—and a potential icy mix for New England. While a brief milder pattern may offer respite for some later this week, Margusity warns it will be short-lived as another storm targets the Midwest with roughly 4 inches of snow by Friday or Saturday.
