Millions of people in the Northeast are preparing for a powerful winter storm that has already caused the cancellation of more than 900 flights across the region. This storm, which originated from the system that recently battered the Gulf Coast in the southeast, is expected to bring heavy snowfall to eastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, southeast New York, and southern New England. The cities of Boston and New York are particularly bracing for significant snowfall, with both cities taking precautionary measures.
Boston has declared a snow emergency and has closed all public schools, while New York City is anticipating its largest snowfall in over two years. Snowfall in New York has been relatively scarce, with the last significant snowfall occurring in January 2022, when two inches of snow covered Central Park.
