Snow Squall Swallows Philadelphia

A sudden snow squall passed through Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 8, as winter storms brought similar conditions to several states in the northeastern US on Wednesday, according to reports.

The National Weather Service issued snow squall warnings for Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, warning of whiteout conditions and blowing snow.
