A powerful winter storm is causing disruptions across the Northeast US, with heavy snowfall and icy temperatures affecting major cities like Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia.
The storm, which began on Sunday morning, brought snow flurries to areas in Maryland and Virginia before moving northward into the mid-Atlantic region. As it progressed, the storm intensified, dumping significant amounts of snow along the heavily traveled Interstate 95 corridor from Washington to Boston.
Delays mounted at major airports, including Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Officials attributed the delays to deicing operations, which are necessary for safe takeoffs and landings in snowy conditions.
Additionally, the storm’s impact was felt beyond the aviation industry, with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declaring a state of emergency due to potentially life-threatening cold temperatures. Residents were advised to limit their time outdoors and keep pets indoors to avoid hypothermia.
Governors from several other states echoed these concerns, urging residents to prepare for prolonged periods of snow and frigid temperatures. Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont warned that the storm could produce significant accumulations of snow in some areas, leading to hazardous travel conditions.
As the storm continues to affect the region, officials are working to clear roads and ensure public safety. The FOX Forecast Center predicts significant snowfall totals across the Northeast, with most areas expected to receive 5-8 inches of snow. Travelers can expect disruptions on major interstates like I-95, I-91, and I-84.
Residents in the affected regions are advised to exercise caution when traveling and to check weather forecasts regularly for updates.
