WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A winter storm moved through the Northeast on Tuesday, generating National Weather Service warnings in parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and the Appalachians and advisories from Alabama to Maine.

The storm had dumped the most snow in Wilmington, Ohio, with 4-5 inches. The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for more than 2 million people living in parts of Maryland, southeastern Pennsylvania, south New Jersey and north Delaware, as well as along the Tennessee and North Carolina border and a part of eastern West Virginia.

Damascus, Md., reported 2 inches of snow and Berks County, Pa., reported 1 inch early Tuesday. Up to 12 inches of snow is forecast for the region, particularly in parts of West Virginia. It is the third storm in five days to affect the Northeast.

In New York City, the storms have caused major flooding in parts of Queens. A coastal flood warning was in effect in Brooklyn and along the south shores of Queens, Nassau County and parts of Suffolk County, and the latest storm could aggravate the situation, CBS New York reported.

"Some areas of the city saw moderate levels of coastal flooding on Monday morning, including parts of southern Queens where roadways were flooded," Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. "We expect similar levels of flooding tomorrow and Wednesday mornings; some local roadways may flood during high tide."
