Another Large Snowstorm Targets East Coast

Contributing Editor Carl Unger believes that every trip is worth taking. He loves an extended trip to Europe as much as he enjoys exploring the towns and landscape near home. Basically, you'll find him wherever there is good food, fresh air, and plenty of stories to bring home.

Carl has been writing for SmarterTravel since 2005. His travel writing has also appeared on USA Today and the About.com Boston travel guide.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "It's not revolutionary, but a small Moleskine notebook is my one travel must-have. It's great for noting things you want to remember and it takes up hardly any space in your bag."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Japan. I'd love to take a month off and visit the cities, temples, and countryside. I'm fascinated by the country's juxtaposition of ancient traditions and modern ambitions."

Travel Motto: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” –Terry Pratchett

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Window."

The East Coast is bracing for another blast of winter, with a major winter storm poised to strike areas still buried under last weekend’s snowfall. The latest storm is expected to drop up to a foot of snow from Virginia to New England and as far west as Iowa, with even higher totals likely between Philadelphia and Connecticut.

Airlines have announced contingencies, which include change-fee waivers and the outright cancellation of flights. Southwest, for example, has cancelled all flights to and from Baltimore tomorrow, as well as numerous flights from Chicago, Cleveland, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
