Flights Grounded as Northeast Snow Shuts Roads, Offices - Bloomberg:

"threatened to bring blizzard conditions to the region with snow and wind chills today, disrupting travel amid highway closures and thousands of flight cancellations.

Boston may receive as much as 14 inches (36 centimeters) of snow and its western and southern suburbs might get as much as 18 inches, said Kim Buttrick, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Taunton, Massachusetts. New York City will probably get 5 to 9, the weather service said.

Blowing and drifting of powdery snow will make travel conditions “extremely dangerous,” the weather service said in a blizzard warning, adding that “strong winds and very cold wind chills” are expected through this afternoon. The threat of whiteout conditions prompted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to order the Long Island Expressway closed at midnight."
