CNN
A fast-moving winter storm that pummeled parts of Kentucky and Virginia is expected to cause widespread disruption across the Northeast on Friday and Saturday, dumping between 4-12 inches of snow in the major cities.
Over 60 million people are under winter weather alerts and local officials have taken pre-emptive measures to prepare the densely populated region, including shutting government offices and ordering school closures.
The forecast calls for as much as 12 inches of snow in Boston, with 4-6 inches in Washington DC, 3-5 inches in New York City and up to 4 inches in Philadelphia, according to CNN meteorologist Robert Shackelford.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
