A winter storm with "high societal impact" is beginning to work its way up the U.S. east coast Wednesday morning, according to the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The NCEP called the storm "significant/potentially historical," in a statement released this morning. More than one inch of ice is expected to accumulate from central Georgia to South Carolina which is not common to this region of the U.S. Over 100,000 homes and businesses are without power in Georgia, according to Georgia Power. Snow accumulations are expected to reach over 30 centimeters across portions of the East Coast. There are winter storm warnings in effect from North Carolina to New Hampshire. Over 2,000 flights within, into, or out of the U.S. have already been cancelled, according to Flight Aware. The storm is supposed to arrive to the nation's capital this evening. Washington DC mayor, Vincent Gray declared a state of emergency for the city going into effect at 6:30 tonight. Travel across the southern states has already become debilitated across highways and the effects are expected to spread to the northern states later tonight. Emergency management officials are working around the clock to alleviate as much danger from roads and sidewalks so citizens can go back to work and school as soon as possible.
