A BLIZZARD of potentially historic proportions threatened to strike the Northeast United States with a vengeance yesterday, with up to 0.6 meters of snow forecast along the densely populated belt from the New York City area to Boston and beyond.
Halfway through what was looking like a merciful winter, people stocked up on food and other storm supplies, and road crews along the East Coast readied salt and sand ahead of what forecasters warned could be one for the record books.
Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, called off school yesterday, and airlines canceled more than 2,600 flights and counting, with the disruptions certain to ripple across the US. "This one doesn't come along every day. This is going to be a dangerous winter storm," said Alan Dunham, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Massachusetts.
Blizzard warnings were posted for parts of New Jersey and New York's Long Island, as well as portions of the New England region.
