A snow storm which caused airline cancellations and power outages in the South is beginning to make its presence felt in the Northeast while California is preparing for heavy rains not seen in a decade as inclement weather grips wide swaths of the United States this weekend.

An estimated 73million Americans from as far north as Maine and as far south as Mississippi are under winter weather storm warnings early Saturday morning, according to NBC.

Of the lower 48 states, 19 are now being affected by either winter storm warnings or advisories.

Snow is blanketing parts of North Carolina and Virginia early Saturday as its slow march across the Southeast left grocery store shelves empty and roads icy and impassible.

The snow storm, Helena, is gradually moving toward the mid-Atlantic and Northeast states, with warnings and advisories in effect along the coasts and up through New England, according to The National Weather Service.

By mid-day, flurries were coming down in the New York metropolitan area.

New York City is expected to see between three and five inches of snow, while forecasters predict as much as eight inches in Long Island.

In the South, Duke Energy said early Saturday there were about 14,000 outages in the Carolinas.

That includes about 3,000 in the county surrounding Charlotte and more than 4,000 in neighboring Union County.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport said its staff worked through the night to clear runways.
