belted the northeastern United States on Sunday with whiteout conditions
and flashes of lightning, forcing airports to close, snarling traffic and
bringing joy to ski resorts. As much as 22.8 inches (57.9 cm) of snow fell
in New York's central park, the second heaviest snowfall on record, topped
only by a blizzard in 1947, said the National Weather Service.
