of the season belted the northeastern United States on Sunday with
whiteout conditions and flashes of lightning, forcing airports to close,
snarling traffic and bringing joy to ski resorts. As much as 22.8 inches
(57.9 cm) of snow fell in New York's central park, the second heaviest
snowfall on record, topped only by a blizzard in 1947, said the National
Weather Service. [Reuters] |
