Winter storm could drop a foot of snow on Northeast US
BOSTON (AP) — A densely populated swath of the Northeast was preparing for winter's harshest thump yet, a fast-moving storm that could bring more than a foot of snow, strong winds and coastal flooding.
Philadelphia and New York hit 60 degrees on Wednesday, were expecting at least a half-foot of snow on Thursday and were bracing for bitter cold temperatures Thursday night.
Many communities announced parking restrictions in advance of the storm, and some school systems canceled classes on Thursday, including Boston and Providence, Rhode Island.
