US belted by spring snow storm
Winter misery refuses to let go
Say it ain’t so: Winter is just refusing to let go.
Heavy snow pasted parts of the US Great Lakes and Northeast on Sunday into Monday, and whiteout conditions in New York state caused several accidents.
A multi-vehicle crash was reported on Interstate 88 in Otsego County on Sunday afternoon, the Associated Press reported. State police say a tour bus, three tractor-trailers and eight passenger vehicles were involved in the pileup in the town of Maryland, 55 miles west of Albany.
Howling weekend winds also blasted the area, knocking out power to tens of thousands of people from Indiana to New England.
Winter weather advisories remain in place Monday for parts of southern New York, southern Vermont, Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, northern Connecticut and Rhode Island, the National Weather Service said.
Additional snowfall accumulations of 2 to 6 inches are possible across southern New England Monday, the weather service reported.
