Northeastern States Hit by Rare Snowstorm
Rescue and cleanup crews are working Monday to repair the damage left by a rare and deadly snowstorm that hit Northeastern states this weekend.
The storm raged from West Virginia to Maine on Saturday and Sunday, leaving at least 11 people dead and over 3 million without power.
Streets are blocked, schools and businesses are closed down, and many transit lines are still inoperable Monday.
Some states recorded the power outages as the worst in state history.
Nearly 750,000 Connecticut residents are still without power on Monday, as are 525,000 in Massachusetts; more than 360,000 in New Jersey; around 220,000 in Pennsylvania; and 128,000 in New York.
A massive storm, which has been dubbed "Snowtober," is rare for October, and smashed records that were recorded in the 1800's.
"Fifteen thousand years ago, in the Ice Age, I’m sure they had more snow, but for the modern day, this is unbelievable," one Massachusett's Weather Service forecaster told the Boston Globe.
