Northeast braces for historic bomb cyclone: feet of snow, brutal winds, and travel chaos

A rapidly intensifying nor’easter—labeled a bomb cyclone—has forced Blizzard Warnings from NYC to coastal Connecticut, with forecasts of 12–24 inches of snow and 50–70 mph winds along the I-95 corridor; some models show jackpot zones exceeding 2 feet. The storm is expected to produce whiteout conditions, coastal flooding, and widespread power outages, prompting airline waivers and Amtrak adjustments as cities mobilize emergency preparations and urge residents to stay off the roads until it passes.
