A winter storm dumped more than a half a foot of snow in parts of the eastern United States on Friday, forcing schools and federal government offices to close and snarling air traffic two days after a blizzard shut down a major highway in Virginia.
Winter storm warnings were in effect until midday for an area reaching from Washington north into Maine, with local snowfall rates expected to exceed 1 inch an hour, the National Weather Service said.
As of Friday morning, more than 400 flights were delayed or canceled at New York, Boston and Washington airports, according to Flightaware.com. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency in his state, and urged residents to stay off roads. Behind the storm, in the Upper Midwest, temperatures dropped below zero Fahrenheit overnight. Wind chills dropped as low as 25 below zero in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas early on Friday.
