Northeast Clobbered, Nearly 2 Feet
The Northeast was clobbered by our blizzard overnight. Heavy snow continues this morning in Delaware, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and eastern Massachusetts. Temperatures are frigid, far from freezing even in coastal areas. Some areas have reported over 2 feet of snow. Reagan, Newark, LaGuardia airports are closed. 120,000 people are without power in D.C., another 60,000 in Baltimore (CNN).
