<\/a>New York City received about 10.2 cm of snow from Friday night to Saturday morning, slightly below what some forecasts had estimated. At least 1,500 flights were canceled from Friday night, according to the flight tracking service FlightAware. But by morning, both the roads and the skies were clearing.<\/p>\n\n\n“Definitely, the storm is subsiding, a bit of snow in the northeast this morning,” said Bob Oravec<\/strong>, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service based in Maryland.\n\n\n

<\/a>He also detailed that the storm was moving from the northwest to the southeast, and that the heaviest snowfall in the New York City metropolitan area reached more than 15 centimeters (6 inches) in central-eastern Long Island. Further north, in the Catskills, communities recorded up to 25 centimeters (10 inches).<\/p>\n\n\nNewark Liberty International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport issued snow alerts on the social media platform X on Friday, warning that weather conditions could cause flight disruptions.\n\nThe National Weather Service warned of dangerous travel conditions from the Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic and southern New England, with the potential for damage to trees and power outages.\n\nIn Times Square, workers in red jumpsuits were cleaning the streets and sidewalks covered in dirt using shovels and snow blowers.\n\nJennifer Yokley, who was there on a vacation trip from North Carolina, said she was excited to see the snow accumulating as it covered buildings, trees, and signs throughout the city.\n\n“I think it was absolutely beautiful,” he commented.

New Jersey’s acting governor, Tahesha Way, also declared a state of emergency.\n\n“This storm will cause dangerous conditions on the roads and affect travel during the holidays,” Way said in a statement. “We urge travelers to avoid traveling during the storm and allow crews to attend to the roads. Drivers should plan their trip accordingly, monitor road conditions and closures, and follow all safety protocols.” Authorities called on the population to mobilize with caution amid the intense snowfall (REUTERS\/Adam Gray)\n\n\n

3 dead in California<\/h2>\n\n\nAcross the country, California enjoyed a fairly dry weekend days after powerful storms battered the state with heavy rain, which generated flash floods and landslides. At least three people died.<\/strong>\n\nSome mountainous areas received 25 to 45 centimeters (10 to 18 inches) of rain over three days, peaking on Christmas Eve, said National Weather Service meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld. There were varying amounts of rain in other populated areas, including up to 10 centimeters (4 inches) throughout the Los Angeles basin and many coastal areas. The heavy rains left deaths and serious damage in California (REUTERS\/Jill Connelly)\n\nThere was significant damage to houses and cars in Wrightwood, a mountainous town of 5,000 residents about 130 kilometers (80 miles) northeast of Los Angeles, where floods and landslides turned roads into rivers and buried vehicles under rocks and debris.\n\nBefore the rain reappears in the forecast at the end of next week, California was expected to experience Santa Ana winds with gusts of more than 96 km\/h (60 mph) in mountainous areas from Sunday night to Tuesday. The winds could topple trees and cause power outages.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
