Storm Stella causes states of emergency, claims two lives > 자유게시판

The late-season winter nor'easter that was predicted by forecasters to dump up to 2 feet of snow in New York City instead only hit the Big Apple with sleet and a few inches of snow.

Officials warned 50 million people on Monday to prepare for the would-be crippling effects of a blizzard that was supposed to hit the Northeast region of the country Tuesday with up to 24 inches of snow and 60mph winds. 

A state of emergency was even declared in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland, as many flocked to prepare for what was thought to be the worst storm of the winter season.

But Tuesday morning around 9am, forecasters significantly downgraded their predictions of New York City receiving up to 2 feet of snow and canceled the blizzard warning, and instead now predict that the Big Apple will only receive 4 to 8 inches of snow.

The storm tracked a little farther west than forecasters originally anticipated, resulting in a sloppy mix of snow and sleet for larger portions of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 

With temperatures 15 to 30 degrees below normal for this time of year, the harsh winter weather has already claimed lives in Milwaukee after two elderly men on different sides of the city collapsed while shoveling snow on Monday. 

In addition, a teenage girl died in GIlford, New Hampshire when she crashed into a tree Tuesday morning, state police said. The girl crashed around 7am at the intersection of Rocky Road and Cherry Valley Road, as her identity has not been publicly released.  


More than 7,600 US flights were cancelled for Tuesday, with airports in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia hardest hit amid reports that up to four inches of snow an hour will fall during the peak of the storm.  Some 200 people were said to be stranded at John F. Kennedy Airport.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave a press conference Tuesday morning where he acknowledged that the storm was not as powerful as expected to be. 

'Mother nature is an unpredictable lady, all of the forecasts said the storm would hit New York City and Long Island the hardest, so we deployed accordingly and New York City and Long Island had been the focus of our activity,' Cuomo said.
