Blizzard that dumped massively as much as 3 feet of snow in parts of the Northeast is heading out to sea, as workers across New York and New England struggle to get airports, trains and highways back online.
The snowstorm, a product of two converging weather systems, knocked out power for more than 640,000 customers and prompted the U.S. Postal Service to suspend deliveries in seven states.
About 4,800 flights were canceled as of Saturday, and at least four people died in traffic accidents related to the storm in New York, Connecticut and southern Ontario, authorities said. A 49-year-old man also died while shoveling out his car in Connecticut. And Fire fighters were unable to resuscitate an 11-year-old boy in Boston amid freezing temperatures.
