New Year's Snowstorm Cripples Northeast Travel, Grounds Nearly 3,000 Flights


A major New Year's snowstorm barreled across the Midwest Thursday and into the densely populated Northeast Corridor, carrying with it enough of a punch to blanket areas from New York to Boston with more than a foot of snow.

"During Thursday and Thursday night, the storm will affect 20 states with more than 120 million people in the Midwest and the Northeast combined, and could have a major negative impact on travel for people returning from holiday destinations, heading back to school or resuming business activities," Alex Sosnowski, senior meteorologist at Accuweather, noted Thursday afternoon.

Sosnowski said that it would be far from the worst blizzard to ever hit the area, "but people should be prepared for flight delays and cancellations because of direct and indirect impacts from the far-reaching storm."
