A historic winter storm is bringing blizzard warnings to over 40 million people on the East Coast, with heavy snow and strong winds expected to make travel dangerous. The storm is forecast to be the biggest winter storm in nearly a decade for many areas in the Northeast.
The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for a large portion of the East Coast, stretching from Maryland to Maine. The warnings are in effect until Monday evening, with snow totals expected to reach up to 2 feet in some areas.
According to National Weather Service, the storm is expected to bring heavy snow and strong winds, making travel dangerous. The weather service warned that the storm could produce “scattered downed tree limbs and power outages” due to snow load and strong winds.
More than 300,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Northeast as of early Monday, according to PowerOutage.us. The bulk of the outages were in New Jersey and Delaware.
Thousands of flights have been canceled or delayed due to the storm, with major airlines issuing waivers allowing passengers to rebook without extra charge. Delta announced that it had canceled flights for Sunday and Monday at New York’s LaGuardia and JFK airports and Boston.
American Airlines said it had teams working around the clock with the goal of resuming operations at affected airports Tuesday, as soon as conditions enable carriers to do it safely. The airline noted that the severe winter weather conditions may impact airlines’ ability to operate at other airports in the region as well.
