Historic bomb cyclone buries Northeast under record-breaking snow

The Northeast is digging out this morning after a historic bomb cyclone blizzard buried parts of the region under feet of snow

Meteorologists are calling it the strongest winter storm in a decade. Rhode Island took a direct hit nearly 38 inches of snow at TF Green Airport, breaking a record that stood since 1978

The fallout is massive. More than 10,000 flights canceled from Sunday through today

At the peak, roughly 650,000 customers were without power as heavy snow and fierce winds

snapped tree limbs and downed power lines. In New York City, nearly 20 inches of snow fell in Central Park

Mayor Zoran Mamdani says schools will reopen for in-person classes today, even as sidewalks remain buried

The teachers union is calling that decision a big mess. City officials, though, say crews are clearing streets and the system is ready

And this may not be over. Parts of Massachusetts and New Jersey are still dealing with more than two feet of snow

and forecasters say another fast-moving system could bring additional accumulation overnight into Wednesday

adding more snow on top of an already brutal start of the week for tens of millions of people
