After a significant weekend storm that left hundreds of thousands of people in the Northeast without power—possibly for days—and dropped more than two feet of snow in some places, thousands of hardy souls in New England spent Sunday digging out.
The storm dumped a lot of snow in many places, including upstate and northern New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and the majority of Maine. According to Zack Taylor, a National Weather Service meteorologist, several locations received 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters) of snow, with some of the greatest totals exceeding 30 inches (76 centimeters) in south-central Vermont. The hardy souls are working towards shoving the snow.
“All in all, it was a fairly significant winter storm, and in some areas, it was the most snow they had seen in a single storm this winter,” Taylor stated.
Hardy Souls Making It Easier For People To Survive The Snow
Sleet, freezing rain, and a lot of wet snow combined to bring down trees and power lines and caused hundreds of flights to be canceled or delayed. After more than 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) of rain fell in Central Park, flooding in New York City caused traffic jams on flooded roadways, closed a portion of the Cross Island Parkway, and hindered subway operations. A massive tree on Fifth Avenue toppled over many automobiles, forcing the closure of the street.
Nearby roadways in Lodi, New Jersey, were submerged by Saddle River floods. Monday and Tuesday were predicted to be unsettled days with more rain and snow showers in the Flagstaff, AZ region. The following weekend, another storm system may make its way into northern Arizona.
