Adam Douty, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, said the snow, ice and even the tornado aren't out of the ordinary for this time of year. While there was a large amount of icing in Tennessee and Arkansas, 8 to 12 inches of snow for much of the Midwest isn't uncommon, Douty said.
"It's a good snow storm ... but it's nothing unusual," he said.
After the storm dropped heavy snow around the region Thursday, several more inches of snow were expected Friday in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, bringing totals up to 18 inches in some areas.
In western New York, another 2 to 4 inches was likely, and ice glazing and sleet were expected in warmer areas further south.
