The northeastern U.S. was hit by a fierce winter storm that threatened to drop more than two feet of snow while packing high winds, prompting governors in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other states to declare states of emergency
The Nor'easter blanketed a large swath of New England with heavy snowfall. With the storm ongoing, some coastal areas of New Jersey already recorded 15 inches of accumulation while Long Island, New York braced for another foot of snow.
"It's really these coastal areas that are going to be most impacted," said National Weather Service meteorologist Marc Chenard, adding that powerful winds could cause minor to moderate flooding in communities close to the shore. Speaking with reporters at around noon on Saturday, Hochul said the storm had not progressed as quickly as forecast, pushing back the state's timetable for cleaning up. Hochul predicted that the hardest-hit counties - Nassau and Suffolk, which already have received 7 to 11 inches of snow - could get another 5 to 12 inches by 6 p.m.
Forecasters said more than two feet of snow could fall in some areas with wind gusts of 70 miles per hour. Southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard, were expected to get the highest snow totals.
