In the Northeastern United States, there is only one thing the mind today: snow. Weather.com, responsible for naming the coming blizzard, warns that winter storm Nemo will be “crippling.” The New York Times reports that it may bring the heaviest snowfall in a century to many areas. Meanwhile, Buzzfeed is showing images of the storm from space.
