BOSTON (AP) - A storm brought rain, snow and the threat of power outages to New
England and northern New York on Friday just as it appeared spring weather was
arriving.
The areas around Providence, Rhode Island; Hartford, Connecticut; and Boston
are getting mostly heavy rain and wind, but parts of northern New England and
New York registered fair amounts of wet, heavy snow, especially in higher
elevations.
Some parts of southwestern New Hampshire already had received 8 inches (20
centimeters) of snow by Friday morning, with the prospect of more than a foot
(30 centimeters) before the storm ends, said National Weather Service
meteorologist Andy Pohl.
More than 4 inches (10 centimeters) had fallen in rural stretches of New York's
Hudson Valley by Friday morning, with similar accumulations in Princeton,
Massachusetts.
The snow was expected to cause some power outages but was merely a nuisance in
most areas.
Winter weather warnings or advisories were posted for large swaths of Vermont,
New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts. The storm could linger in some areas
into Saturday.
