Huge storm in the Northeast- Ausia Jones

            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.
