The U.S. work week opened with yet more snow dumping on the Northeast under the tail end of a colossal winter storm that brought ice and power outages, impassable roads, canceled flights and frigid cold to much of the southern and eastern United States.

Deep snow — over a foot (30 centimeters) extending in a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) swath from Arkansas to New England — halted traffic, canceled flights and triggered wide school cancellations Monday.

Up to two feet (60 centimeters) were forecast in some of the harder-hit places.

In Falmouth, Massachusetts, about an hour’s drive south of Boston, snow was coming down in sheets and closing down the town.

and saw a huge front end loader with a huge rectangular steel box mounted on the front plowing my street. It made 2 passes and actually made my street 2 lanes.

I'm going to go out around 9 AM with the snowblower and blow away the 5 inches from last night. Here in central Pa.

Now all we have to deal with is freezing cold with high winds for a couple of weeks.

on them but nothing one cannot drive on. Plow must have come down street at least 20 times during the storm. I’m not on main road, but one that is used as a cut through between two main roads.
