New York’s Central Park recorded 4 inches of snow, its most since January 2022, while other parts of the state saw up to 7.5 inches of snow, the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) said.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency in more than half of the state’s counties ahead of the storm.
As of Saturday, nearly 700 domestic flights were canceled, mostly in the New York area, while more than 3,000 were delayed nationwide, according to tracking site FlightAware.

The heaviest snowfall was in neighboring New Jersey, where a state of emergency was also declared, and in Connecticut, where 9.1 inches of snow fell in Fairfield County.

The state activated a “code blue” to bring homeless people inside from the cold.
On the other side of the country, meanwhile, California is counting the cost of the southern state’s worst winter storm in recent memory, with cars buried in rivers of mud.
