More snow falls on the Northeast US as the region scrambles to clear piles from last storm

Cities across the Northeast deployed 3,500 emergency shovelers and spread 143 million pounds of salt to manage snow and ice after a storm dropped over 3 feet in Rhode Island, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, the Northeast U.S. faced a massive snowstorm, leaving cities scrambling to clear towering heaps that showed no signs of melting.
  • Meteorologists called the system a classic bomb cyclone/nor'easter, and the National Weather Service warned a Great Lakes clipper could bring rain and snow Wednesday.
  • By Tuesday evening, New York City had spread 143 million pounds of salt, signed up at least 3,500 emergency shovelers paid $30 per hour, and flight disruptions eased to around 150 grounded, FlightAware reported.
  • Emergency officials reported Joseph Boutros, 21, died Monday night in Newport, Rhode Island, and about 173,000 Massachusetts power customers remained without power early Wednesday.
  • In Harrisville, Rhode Island, Tina Guenette, who uses a motorized wheelchair, shoveled after more than 33 inches fell, while Jeff Peters called parts of the city `a glacier at the end of it`.
