ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The first in a double-whammy storm has dumped more than a foot of wet, heavy snow on parts of eastern New York, closing hundreds of schools and knocking out power to more than 100,000 customers.
Snow or rain were predicted throughout the Northeast for Wednesday, but the National Weather Service says another storm expected to arrive Thursday could bring up to 2 feet of new snow to higher elevations in upstate New York and Vermont.
In Albany, N.Y., the storm has dropped nearly 11 inches of snow by Wednesday morning, with 2 to 4 more expected by the end of the day. The weather service reports 18 inches in the Catskills, 13 inches in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts and 8 inches in Litchfield County in Connecticut's northwest corner.
