Severe Winter Storm Disrupts US Northeast

A severe blizzard is hitting the northeastern regions of the United States, causing significant problems. Approximately 250,000 households have been left without power, schools have closed, and transportation has been disrupted. Authorities are warning of worsening weather conditions with the arrival of a new wave of bad weather. The blizzard has caused power outages in many states, including Massachusetts, New Jersey and Delaware. In New York, the mayor faced criticism for not suspending school operations, while in other areas schools remained closed or operated remotely. Snowfall in many areas exceeded 60 centimeters, while in Rhode Island it reached 90 centimeters, breaking the record of the 1978 blizzard. Transportation has been affected, with flight and train cancellations. Authorities are urging citizens to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. The situation is expected to remain difficult in the coming hours as the new wave of bad weather approaches.
