NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The latest in a repeated pattern of winter storms is taking direct aim at the East Coast where heavy snow and some ice is forecast in several states. The storm that dropped snow in the Midwest promised to bring more misery to some places just starting to clean up from deadly weekend floods. The National Weather Service says up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snow is possible along the Atlantic Coast in Virginia, and significant ice accumulations are forecast in eastern North Carolina. Weekend storms that pummeled the eastern U.S. killed at least 17 people, including 14 in Kentucky, where a half-foot or more of snow was expected.
