One dead, 650,000 without power in US blizzard

February 09, 2013 19:45

A massive blizzard that dumped as much as 3 feet of snow in some parts of northeastern US is heading out to sea, as workers across New York and New England struggle to get airports, trains and highways back online.

The snowstorm, a product of two converging weather systems, left at least one man dead and knocked out power for nearly 650,000 customers in the Northeast.

Forecasters say the storm is expected to continue swirling across New England into Saturday with gusts up to 40 mph in cities including Providence, Rhode Island, and Boston. Most of the heavy snow will taper off later in the afternoon, they said.

Three of New York's busiest airports resumed limited service Saturday morning, while travelers at Logan International Airport in Boston still faced flight cancellations.
