Karen, we begin with a powerful winter storm that pounded much of the country. Let's bring in Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen for the very latest. Craig, it's over, right?
Craig Allen 0:50
It's over for New York City as well as down the pike all the way to Washington. There still may be some snow showers, but no significant new snowfall totals coming out of this. It could dust the ground, a couple of the snow showers that pass on through, but the storm itself is... has pushed on out to sea by a couple hundred miles. However, there is a backlash to this storm, and that is going to be affecting our listeners in the Boston area. This is going to run across 90, up 91 through central New England, 495 around Boston, The winter storm warning has been extended until 8 p.m. this evening from the backside of this system, which is going to produce off and on snows during the course of the afternoon.
Craig Allen 1:39
Nothing like yesterday, but there still could be an additional one to four, two to five inches of snowfall yesterday. in and around Boston and most of the inland areas to the north and west of Boston. So it's not completely over across New England, not at all. Now, in terms of totals, Boston, 16 and a half inches of snow there, the ninth snowiest day that they have had on Boston's weather records. There's going to be a little bit more, as I just mentioned. Now, getting down to the New York City area, every single reporting station, the official reporting station had snow. Snowfall amounts that were record-breaking, anywhere around 10 to 15 inches of snow. And then down towards D.C., 5 to 10 inches of snow, followed by all that ice.
Craig Allen 2:25
You know what the biggest problem is going to be now from this point on? It is the ice, because after the snow... We had freezing rain and sleet falling on top of this, and it is just one solid, large area of crusty snow that's going to be very, very hard, even for snowblowers to try to get through at this point. One thing that we're going to be talking about for the next several days is the cold is not going to let this snow go away all that quickly, Nathan and Karen.
Karen Moskow 2:56
All right, Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen, thank you. And, of course, we'll be checking in with you throughout the morning. Travel as well, through the air especially, continues to be a major headache this morning. Bloomberg's Lisa Mateo continues our team coverage in New York.

What impact did the winter storm have on the East Coast?

Karen Moskow 3:11
And, Lisa, good morning.
Lisa Mateo 3:12
Good morning, Karen. Yeah, airlines in the U.S., they're just trying to get their schedules back on track, but it's a tough battle ahead after that winter storm. It caused the most flight cancellations since the pandemic. If you go to a FlightAware, more than 3,600 flights, they were canceled as of this morning. That's down from roughly 11,600 cancellations on Sunday. You have airlines like United, JetBlue, Delta. They've all said they're looking to get back up and running, but Craig Helen, he was just saying extremely cold air, icy conditions at airports, also along the roads and highways. That's going to continue to make travel difficult. U.S. power grids also being put to the test. More than 800,000 homes and businesses nationwide have been without electricity.
Lisa Mateo 3:53
In New York, Lisa Mateo, Bloomberg Radio.
Nathan Hager 3:56
Okay, Lisa, thanks. We want to get to the latest now from Minnesota, where two very different messages are emerging after a Border Patrol agent killed an ICU nurse in Minneapolis over the weekend.
