"Northeast Winter Storm: School Closures, Road Closures, and Snow Totals"

A snowstorm hit the Northeast, causing flight cancellations, school closures, and difficult driving conditions. New York City's decision to continue with remote learning instead of declaring a snow day drew criticism as the online learning system experienced technical problems. Several states banned tandem and empty tractor-trailers from highways, and some areas were expected to receive up to 8 inches of snow. Governors ordered closures and speed limit reductions, while power companies prepared for potential outages. In the South, flood watches covered parts of Alabama and Georgia.
