- Story Text: A blizzard swept across the northeastern United States on Tuesday (January 27), dropping more than a foot (30 cm.) of snow across Massachusetts and Connecticut even as its impact on New York City fell short of dire predictions.
The governors of New York and New Jersey lifted travel bans they had imposed a day earlier and New York City's subway system was set to restart, though officials urged people who did not have to drive to stay off snow-covered roadways.
A blizzard warning remained in effect for much of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, where snow was expected to go on falling through the day at a rate as high as 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 centimeters) an hour, even as the National Weather Service lifted its blizzard warning for the New York City area.
Some of the heaviest snowfall was recorded in parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, with about 20 inches (50 centimeters) reported in around Worcester.
Amtrak suspended rail services between New York and Boston, and into New York State, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
