Watch: Giant pandas tumble and play as snow blankets Washington DC
A powerful nor'easter is forecast to bring heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and a 'bomb cyclone' to the US Southeast and East Coasts this weekend, impacting 35 million people.
The storm is expected to intensify rapidly on Saturday night, delivering major winter weather from Georgia to Massachusetts, with some areas in the Carolinas potentially receiving over half a foot of snow.
Blizzard conditions are anticipated along coastal regions, including the Outer Banks, due to strong winds and snow, while coastal flooding is also a significant concern during high tides.
Record-breaking low temperatures are predicted for up to 18 states and Washington D.C., with Florida potentially experiencing Gulf of Mexico-effect snow.
Authorities are urging residents to prepare for widespread travel disruptions, power outages, and risks of frostbite and hypothermia, particularly in areas still recovering from previous storms.
