"Bomb Cyclone" to hit US east coast

Millions of Americans are in the crosshairs of a major winter storm.  

Forecasters say up to 12 inches of snow is expected along the East Coast from Boston to Virginia Beach in what's being called a "bombogenesis" [[ BOM-boh-gen-eh-sis ]] or a bomb cyclone.

That's a weather system that involves a rapid drop in barometric pressure, which leads to an intense storm.  

<New York City has already canceled classes at all city schools.  All of eastern Maine is under a Blizzard Warning, while Hard Freeze Warnings are in effect from Eastern Texas to the Georgia and Florida coasts.>

It's already snowing in South Carolina where Governor Henry McMaster is urging people to stay indoors.

NHS PRESSURE GROWS IN ENGLAND

The UK government is under growing pressure over what's being called a 'winter crisis' in its National Health Service.

NHS organisations in England are delaying as many as 55 000 non-urgent operations and procedures until the end of the month.

And hospitals are being urged to delay routine outpatient appointments so emergency care can be prioritised.

The NHS has seen huge demand for services over the Christmas and New Year period, partly because of patients with winter vomiting bugs and flu.

But the opposition Labour Party says it's partly as a result of a lack of funding from the government.

Dr Keith Willett of NHS England says it's a difficult time of year.
