Millions Warned To Stay Off Roads As Latest Storm Spreads

From the Midwest through the Northeast and on into New England the latest winter storm is spreading misery across some of the heaviest populated states in the nation.

New York State, where snow is falling fast and some areas may see a foot or more of new accumulation before the day is done, is getting hit especially hard. How bad is it? Gov. Andrew Cuomo is urging "all New Yorkers to stay off the roads" and has announced that all traffic is banned from his state's portion of Interstate-84. That's a 72-mile stretch connecting northeastern Pennsylvania with southwestern Connecticut.

"Any cars on the road [I-84] will be ticketed," Cuomo's office says.

(Side note for those old enough to get this reference: If only Cuomo had said "The New York State Thruway's closed, man!" our day would be complete.)

But the Empire State is by no means the only place where travel warnings are out:

— Connecticut. "Storm Blankets State With Snow."

— Maryland. "Freezing Rain Closes Schools, Knocks Out Power For About 90,000."

— Massachusetts. "Snow Piling Up As Rough Morning Commute Underway."

— New Jersey. "Ice Storm In Bergen County: Dangerous Roads, School Closings." (NJ.com)

— Ohio. "Slow Causing Accidents, Delays For Northeast Ohio Commuters."

— Pennsylvania. "Speed Limits On Western Pennsylvania Highways Have Been Reduced."

We shouldn't forget to mention that there is plenty of winter-related misery in places such asSt. Louis, Chicago and Oklahoma City. Also, the weather has caused air traffic delays across the nation. According to FlightAware.com, more than 2,200 flights into or out of the U.S. have been cancelled today. Another 650 or so have been delayed.

The short-term forecast from the National Weather Service:

"A storm over the Ohio Valley will move eastward out over the Western Atlantic by Wednesday evening. The system will produce heavy snow over parts of the Lower Great Lakes into New England that will slowly taper off to light snow over New England by Wednesday evening before ending Wednesday night. Pockets of rain/freezing rain will develop over parts of the Northern Mid-Atlantic ending by afternoon."

Meanwhile, there's still time to get in on the question we asked Tuesday about whether you're sick of winter.

Storm Makes Its Way Across Massachusetts

By WBUR News & Wire Services February 5, 2014 Updated Feb 05, 10:15 am

BOSTON — A storm that could drop more than a foot of snow in some places is blanketing Massachusetts.

Up to 10 inches of snow is expected in Greater Boston by Wednesday night, with higher snowfall likely in western and northern parts of the state. Cape Cod and the Islands are expected to see smaller accumulations.

David Epstein’s Wednesday snowfall predictions, as of 6 a.m. (Click to enlarge)

Weather Resources:

“The snow will … grow increasingly heavy during the morning as warmer air starts to flow northward,” WBUR meteorologist David Epstein said in his early Wednesday forecast.

The storm prompted Gov. Deval Patrick to tell all non-essential state employees working in the executive branch to stay home. The state’s trial courts were also closed Wednesday.

Many communities including Boston, Worcester and Springfield, closed schools.

“Really if you can stay home, do so and stay off the roads,” Patrick urged travelers. “If you have to travel and you have access to public transit, use that.”

Boston’s Logan International Airport remains open, but airport officials say flights in and out are being canceled and urged travelers to check with their airlines.

The state’s utilities say they are preparing for the possibility of more power outages than in earlier storms this winter, because the snow is expected to be the wet and heavy type that weighs down power lines and tree limbs.

But National Grid spokesman Jake Navarro says the utilities are ready.

“This is a storm where we’re not expecting hugely widespread outages,” he said. “Certainly we’re not expecting any customers to be out for something like a 24-hour period or anything like that.”

With reporting by The Associated Press and the WBUR Newsroom

试想：一位裹过脚的小脚老太太穿着一双解放鞋（过去解放军穿得绿色胶底鞋）－－－不三不四的，不土不洋的，走起路来是个什么摸样？
