Early Thursday morning, a powerful winter storm hit New York City, bringing heavy snow and fast winds.
The Nor’easter is expected to threaten the area with close-to-zero temperatures until Sunday, when it will make its way to the Canadian Maritimes, sitting over Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Meteorologists say that the storm is experiencing “bombogenesis,” meaning rapid atmospheric pressure has fallen below 24 millibars in less than 24 hours. In other words, the low air pressure is creating an especially strong storm.
