  • March is still coming in like a lion in the Northeast, where the second big storm in five days is likely to cause more widespread damage. Heavy snow started falling early Wednesday morning across the region.

    This developing nor’easter was expected to bring snow and strong winds to many communities that were hit hard last weekend.

    The storm could dump a foot or more of snow in parts of New York and New England. Winter storm warnings were up from eastern Pennsylvania to Maine.

    More than 100,000 people who were still without power because of last week’s nor’easter could face new disruptions.

    Follow along with winter storm updates below. All times Eastern.


  • Weakened trees pose threat in new storm

    9:33 a.m.: A family was inside a house that was almost split in two by a falling tree last week in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, just northwest of Philadelphia, CBS News correspondent Don Dahler reports.

    No one was injured, but the house illustrates the dangers that people are facing along the East Coast.

    The storm is dropping heavy, wet snow that adds weight to the tops of old trees, which have root systems weakened by last week’s storm.

    Wind gusts will be a key factor in how much damage Wednesday’s storm will cause. They’re not expected to be as intense as last week but are expected to be as high as 60 mph.
