Heavy rain and snow wreaked havoc across the northeastern United States Tuesday, disrupting flights and causing power outages, as extreme weather gripped both American coasts.
The "double whammy," as the National Weather Service called it, is the latest in an unusual series of weather fronts to have rocked the country simultaneously.
More than 15 million people across the northern Atlantic seaboard were under winter storm warnings Tuesday, with the NWS warning of widespread minor coastal flooding and tree damage. Multiple schools were closed in Massachusetts and in New Hampshire, where dozens of local elections were postponed. Almost 300 flights were canceled Tuesday at Boston's Logan International Airport while more than 250 were scrapped at New York City's LaGuardia airport, according to the website FlightAware.
