A massive late winter snowstorm struck the Northeast today stopping hundreds of flights, causing spin-outs, delaying trains and buses and closing school for over a million children from South Carolina to New Hampshire.
Yesterday, the same storm knocked the Southeast as it made its way north.
By Monday, the storm had moved as far north as New Hampshire, and most areas in the storm's path are expected to see at least 8 to 12 inches of accumulation.
The blizzard-like snow - together with sleet, freezing rain and
wind gusts of up to 30 mph - contributed to four deaths on roads in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and on New York's Long Island.
