Snow, sleet and rain struck from Virginia to Pennsylvania on Saturday as a weekend winter storm moved up the East Coast and promised to bring more of the same to New York City and Boston.

Snow, sleet and rain struck from Virginia to Pennsylvania on Saturday as a weekend winter storm moved up the East Coast and promised to bring more of the same to New York City and Boston.

Warm temperatures clashed with the southern reaches of the storm to produce unstable air, violent winds, and a tornado in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said National Weather Service meteorologist Will Redman.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Garrett Pingol said the vortex struck utility lines and small boats, but resulted in no known injuries.

The main storm brought snow, ice, and "freezing drizzle" to northern Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon, with the front heading northeast by evening, according to the weather service's Baltimore-Washington office.

Public schools in Loudoun County, Virginia, canceled on-campus activities and closed administrative offices Saturday.
