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."
