Late storm blasts South, Northeast with snow, wind associated Press A late winter storm blasted the northeastern United States on Saturday with high winds and snow that could pile up to a foot high, sending temperatures plummeting and making travel hazardous after first taking aim at the Deep South. The National Weather Service said 7 to 12 inches could be expected in northern areas of Pennsylvania and New York with winds gust- ing as high as 45 mph. Philadelphia residents, while expecting only a few inches of snow, were warned that blizzard-like conditions were possi- ble at one point, and later a flash freeze was pos- sible with wet surfaces rapidly becoming icy due to plummeting temperatures. Gale warnings were in effect in coastal New Jersey and Delaware areas, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph possible and forecasters warning of tree damage and resulting power outages as well as rough boating conditions. A wind advisory was in effect for other areas. Meteorologist Andrew Orrison of the weather service office in College Park, Maryland, said moderate to heavy snow had fallen over “a rather large area” of the eastern United States, but the storm was moving quickly to the north- east. Parts of the Tennessee Valley and central Ap- palachia had already seen as much as 8 to 12 inches of snow, and areas of Pennsylvania, New York and northern New England were expected to receive similar amounts before the storm pulled away early Sunday, he said. By Saturday afternoon, 10 inches of snow or more had been reported in parts of New York and northern Pennsylvania and as much as 6 inches in eastern Pennsylvania. Intensifying low pressure accompanying the storm had been generating high winds, and plunging temperatures would freeze any mois- ture on roadways, making for hazardous travel in icy conditions, he said. State police said Saturday afternoon that a crash involving 73 vehicles on a central Pennsyl- vania highway had resulted in multiple injuries, but no life-threatening injuries were immedi- ately reported. Trooper Megan Ammerman said the crash was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Satur- day on PA 581 in Cumberland County. Slick roads were also blamed for crashes as rain turned to snow and began to pile up in parts of Maine, northern New Hampshire and Vermont. New Hampshire State Police re- sponded to multiple crashes involving cars slid- ing off snowy roads, prompting warnings to slow down. In Vermont, where as much as 14 inches of snow was expected, officials warned that potential blizzard conditions and blowing snow could make travel “difficult to impossible.” We have been comfortable being the old school, sit and fi t type of shoe store. But, retailing has been changing for several years. Th e internet has made a big impact on many small businesses and will continue to do so. Being active with social media is very important and changing all the time. We have reached the point that keeping up with the changing ways of doing business is exhausting. You are certainly what we will miss the most. Th is is very bittersweet, but we are excited and happy to start all the new chapters in our lives. We are looking forward to spending more quality time with our growing family. My parents are getting older and I want to be able to help when I am needed. I have children and grandchildren, and I want to be available to be there when they have special events and when they need me. We want to enjoy our hobbies. I love gardening and quilting and Taniah loves the outdoors. We are so excited to start new activities and hobbies. I have wanted to retire for several years. Th ings just have not fallen into place as we had planned, making me work more now than ever before. It is because of our wonderful employees through the many years, which have made our store as successful as it has been. Please do not fear. Birkenstock Bend will open a new store called Bend Shoe Co in the current Hallmark location this summer. Th ey will take on many of our current shoe lines and I know they will take care you in the same way we have. We do love you all and will miss you so much. -Karen, Taniah, and Shoe Inn Staff Located in: Th e Costco/Forum Shopping Center OPEN Mon-Sat 10-6 • Closed Sunday (541) 385-7405 E D I W E R STO SALE! 25 /14 - 3/ 3 F F O 20 - 4/8 % OFF 3/28 30 - 4/22 % OFF 4/11 40 %
