Gusty winds and falling temperatures have plunged the East Coast into a deep freeze as people dig out after a nor’easter dumped mounds of snow, flooded coastlines and knocked out power to tens of thousands.
The Boston area’s modern snowfall record for a winter storm is 27.6 inches , set in 2003The city tied its record for biggest single-day snowfall on Saturday, with 23.6 inches , the National Weather Service said.
“It’s pretty intense with the winds getting up to 70 miles an hour. As for the depth, it’s pretty deep in spots with the wind and the snow drifts, but it’s pretty nasty out and I definitely wouldn’t want to be driving. So it’s nice to be able to walk through these huge snowdrifts and in pretty tough conditions,” Ledin said.
Much warmer ocean waters “are certainly playing a role in the strengthening of the storm system and increased moisture available for the storm,” said University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado. “But it isn’t the only thing.” The National Weather Service considers a storm a blizzard if it has snowfall or blowing snow, as well as winds of at least 35 mph that reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less for at least three hours. In many areas, Saturday’s storm met those criteria.Hardy New Englanders took the storm in stride.
