Blustery and unusually cold condi- tions will penetrate well to the south in the wake of the storm across the eastern third of the nation. Freezing temperatures can extend as far south as northern Florida. Flurries and locally heavy snow squalls will extend well to the southeast of the Great Lakes and can reach as far as the North Carolina coast. Most areas from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast in California can expect a dry day.

The powerful nor'easter fell well short of the pre- dicted snow totals in New York and Philadelphia but unloaded 1 to 2 feet in many places inland, grounded more than 6,000 flights and knocked out power to nearly a quarter-million customers from Virginia northward. By the time it reached Massachusetts, it had turned into a blizzard, with near hurricane-force wind gusting over 70 mph along the coast and waves crash- ing over the seawalls. Up to a foot of snow was expected in the Boston area. It was easily the biggest storm in a merciful win- ter that had mostly spared the Northeast, and many weren't happy about it. "It's horrible," said re- tired gumball-machine technician Don Zimmer- man, of Lemoyne, Pennsyl- vania, using a snowblower to clear the sidewalk along his block. "I thought winter was out of here. ... It's a real kick in the rear." While people mostly heeded dire warnings to stay home and off the roads, police said a 16-year-old girl was killed when she lost control of her car on a snowy road and hit a tree in Gilford, New Hampshire. The storm closed schools in cities big and small, Am- trak suspended service and the post office halted mail delivery. Philadelphia and New York City got anywhere from a few inches of snow to around half a foot before the storm switched over mostly to sleet; forecast- ers had predicted a foot or more. In New Jersey, which saw rain or just a little snow in many areas, Gov. Chris Christie called the storm an "underperformer." But officials warned of danger- ous ice. Inland areas, meanwhile, got hit hard. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Worces- ter, Massachusetts, received a foot or more of snow. The Binghamton, New York, area got over 2 feet, while Vernon, New Jersey, had at least 19 inches. The storm came just days after the region saw tem- peratures climb into the 60s, and less than a week before the official start of spring. February, too, was remarkably warm. "The winters seem to be upside down now. January and February are nice and then March and April seem to be more wintry than they were in the past," said Bob Clifford, who ventured out on an early morning gro- cery run for his family in Altamont, near Albany, New York. His advice: "Just hide in- side. Hibernate." In the nation's capital, non-essential federal em- ployees were given the op- tion of reporting three hours late, taking the day off or working from home. The city got less than 2 inches of snow. A few days ago, workers on Washington's National Mall were making plans to turn on the fountains. "Obviously all that has to come to an abrupt stop until we get all the snow cleared," said Jeff Gowen, the acting facility man- ager for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. "The cherry blossoms, they're right on the cusp of go- ing into bloom here. I had a feeling this was going to happen." As the storm closed in, the National Weather Ser- vice used terms like "life- threatening" and urged people to "shelter in place," language that has come to be associated with mass shootings. In the end, the line between snow and rain shifted slightly to the west, sparing some of the North- east's big cities. Government meteorolo- gists realized by late Mon- day afternoon that there was a good chance the storm wasn't going to pro- duce the giant big-city snow totals predicted. But they didn't change their fore- cast for fear people would mistakenly think the storm was no longer dangerous, said Greg Carbin, chief of forecast operations at the Weather Prediction Center. In Pennsylvania, snow- plows and state troopers es- corted a 23-month-old child in need of a heart trans- plant 80 miles between hos- pitals. Gov. Tom Wolf said the youngster made the trip safely.
