The blizzard that slammed the East Coast over the weekend set records for snowfall, and residents are facing fresh challenges as the workweek begins: slippery roads, spotty transit service and mounds of snow that buried cars and blocked sidewalk entrances.
The storm dropped snow from the Gulf Coast to New England, with near-record snowfalls tallied from Washington, D.C. to New York City. Here are five of the most unforgettable images from the massive storm.

Last year, in just 3 weeks and 2 days, Boston got 110 inches of snow. Some of it’s suburbs got 117. The nation’s 10th largest metropolitan area functioned. Within hours after a big snow storm, stores, offices and business opened. Streets were plowed. I read that in a 15 day period last February, that Boston had more snow than any entire winter Chicago ever had. The only problem Boston had was it’s subway system. That was because of poor management. I am no fan of the Boston area, but they are snow champs.
Pretty normal for us out west. Happens all the time.
In JAN. of 2014 it froze here in S.C. and i went out and fell and broke my leg. I feel for you people and hope that this snow will soon be gone.
Al Gore can sleep easy tonight. It looks like global warming, the “settled science,” has finally been defeated.
They will still blame this snow storm on Climate change. Just wait.
Sure it’s caused by Climate Change but NOT Gore’s Global Warming!!! The scientist have the answer. Look it up. Very plain, reasonable and believable answer.
Of course, that’s what true believers do. Belief that human caused CO2 drives climate is simply impossible by any standard, but the true believers are not to be deterred.
The geoengineeringwatch.org explains exactly how our government, as well as 15 other governments throughout the world, have been creating and controlling our weather since the 1950s. Our government uses the large H.A.A.R.P. facility in Alaska and the heavy metal chemtrails which they are spraying on us to push the precipitation which is normally rained down on the west coast up and over to areas in the eastern part of our country to create floods and severe snow storms. They are achieving many objectives with weather control such as the droughts in the west, poisoning all life in our country with the toxins added to the chemtrails and flooding and creating storms in the eastern half of our country. Read Elana Freeland’s book “Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth.”
Currently, in addition to those factors, competition wagering likewise relies upon monetary systems such as hedging and
arbitrage.
Here in New Jersey we had a “lovely” winter until this HUGE snow storm hit us. I hope we got it all in ONE storm and that IF we have more snow, it will just be dustings.
That is why I moved to Florida!!!
In the last picture it looks like they are throwing the snow into the street rather than pileing it up on the sidewalk side of the car.
We vote for Mr Trump 2016! To bring our Country back strong & great again.
You are 100% right about that.
In and around Martinsburg, WV. Forty-Two inches was recorded.
