East Coast storm delivers severe weather and heavy snow

This big old storm with hail and some other fun stuff, not for us, not for us. A large storm, though, is moving across the East Coast, bringing with it snow, rain, hail, even possible tornadoes. Meteorologist Cody Matz is in with a closer look at the aftermath, and some of these images are, again, what we could have, we don't, but we could. It's true. And it's actually been pretty quiet nationwide the last 10 days or so. So this has been a change and more of that kind of in the future as we enter more of an active pattern. Now, the storm giving the East Coast its first real taste of what Could be ahead for us later on this winter. We'll get to that in a second. But here's a satellite footage from yesterday showing what the storm looked like from space. Lots of lightning strikes. That's the flashes you see across portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, southern sections of New York as this all crossed the mid-Atlantic and parts of New England. Now, with lightning came some severe weather as well. Check this out. This video from Wilmington, Delaware. A funnel cloud hovers over some version of a highway there. The storm, though, did end up producing a tornado. Damaging a few dozen buildings not far from where that was taken. No, this isn't snow. That's hail that piled up. Upwards of a foot of hail in some cases in parts of southeastern Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia. It was so deep in this part of the city that they actually had to close down some streets. This was all just pea-sized hail. Other locations, though, getting golf ball size. Now up to upstate New York. This is a live look where it is actually snowing. This is from Utica, about 100 miles south of the Canadian border, kind of southeast of the lakes there. The snow started falling late yesterday afternoon, not far from there. In slightly higher elevations of the White and Adirondack Mountains, they received more than a foot of snow and not hail. The precipitation should wrap up a few hours from now. Now, back here at home, we're not experiencing this. We're still waiting for our first measurable snowfall in the Twin Cities and most of the state, really. But the plows are ready for what happens next. Shoreview posting this video to Facebook to introduce their newest crew member called Dolly Ploughton. Love that. Dolly joins other plow naming contest winners, Life of a Snow Girl, and Slay Queen. Love it. Seven of the last 10 years, by the way, we had already seen at least a dusting of snow to this point in the season here in the Twin Cities. This includes 2020 when we had already had 17 inches of snow to this point in the season. Though since the year 2000, Twin Cities averages about four inches, a little over four inches. Of snow for the month of November. So we are behind as you'd imagine. We're living on borrowed time. We have enjoyed the ride because it has been a very warm, mild, whatever you want to call last six, seven, eight weeks. It's going to happen eventually. Another weekend to get all the yard work stuff done. True. There's still a lot of leaf piles out there. All right. But then golf Sunday. So, you know, there you go. Right. Well, you can. That's true. Thank you, sir. Yeah.
