5 people are dead and thousands are still without power after Winter Storm Finn walloped the eastern United States right after Ember, and Gerri is on its way. Deaths were reported in Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama after heavy rain, and the Midwest and Northeast have received multiple inches of snow. Finn also began in the West, where the snow sparked an avalanche that killed one person. Hundreds of thousands of buildings were without power and flights were canceled after the storm knocked down power lines and created zero-visibility conditions with its heavy snow, pouring rain, and strong winds. Winter Storm Ember also did some damage last week, and Gerri is already dumping snow over the Northwest. 29 inches were reported in some areas of Washington, and gusts of over 100 mph were recorded in Montana. The Midwest will receive some heavy snow, over 12 inches in some areas, while the South will get heavy rain and possible tornadoes. The Northeast will be more of a mix, with the rain falling in places like New York City while snow falls in places like Buffalo. Overall, these triple winter storms are doing some damage, and it's not over yet. Right after Gerri, a massive blast of arctic air will sweep in, bringing frigid temperatures 30-40 degrees below average.
