There hasn't been storms for a while and this is the first big
storm of the year may drop up to 3 feet of snow on Boston and New York before
it ends on Tuesday. The weather is pretty extreme with freezing rain and
strong wind gusts possibly reaching 70 mph. Blizzard and winter storm warnings
have been issued from Maryland through Maine and into Canada. New York's
Central Park had reported 5.5 inches of snow. Connecticut and Massachusetts
also put travel bans in place. In New York, public transportation was shut down
and only emergency vehicles allowed on the roads in 13 counties. Nearly 58
million people are stuck in this terrible weather and nearly 7,000 flights have
been canceled. Officials across the Northeast warned residents to stock up for
the storm. This definitely effects the Northeast socially and economically. In Great Blizzard of 1888 they
were all trapped in their homes and couldn’t do anything about it. This definitely
impacts where people chose to live, the weather is completely different in the
Northeast.
