Chaos in New England Today! 41 Inch Nor"easter Snow Storm Causing 13 Dead in Connecticut

Описание: A monstrous Nor’easter, officially classified as a "bomb cyclone" due to its rapid intensification, has left the New England region buried under a historic blanket of snow. This thermal clash triggered "bombogenesis," where the storm’s central pressure plummeted by over 30 millibars in less than 24 hours. By the time the eye of the storm sat off the coast of Cape Cod, it was generating hurricane-force wind gusts and snowfall rates of 3 to 5 inches per hour. The epicenter of the storm’s fury was Southern New England. According to the National Weather Service, Providence, Rhode Island, recorded a staggering 37.9 inches of snow. In Massachusetts, the town of Fall River reported a jaw-dropping 41 inches, while Boston’s Logan International Airport recorded a solid 17.1 inches, complicated by massive drifts that reached the height of first-story windows. In New Bedford, a group of local fishermen used their heavy-duty trucks and winches to pull an ambulance out of a four-foot drift, allowing a critical heart patient to reach the hospital just in time. In the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, while the snowfall was less "record-breaking" than the coast, the extreme cold (reaching -20°F with wind chill) created a survival crisis. In Falmouth, Massachusetts, about an hour's drive south of Boston, snow came down in sheets and closed down the town. On Manhattan's Upper East Side, January Cotrel enjoyed the fresh snow on a block that always closes during snowstorms for residents to sled, throw snowballs and make snowmen. In Corinth, Mississippi, heavy machinery manufacturer Caterpillar told employees at its remanufacturing site to stay home Monday and Tuesday. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at least five people who died were found outside as temperatures plunged Saturday, though the cause of their deaths remained under investigation. Two men died of hypothermia related to the storm in Caddo Parish in Louisiana, according to the state health department. Two teenagers died in sledding accidents, a 17-year-old boy in Arkansas, and a 16-year-old girl in Texas, authorities said. Three weather-related deaths were announced in Tennessee, authorities said. Further details were not immediately available. In Hartford, Mayor Arunan Arulampalam will activate a snow parking ban for the city of Hartford at noon on Sunday and it will continue into Monday.
