Storms and Floods

Winter storm Nemo in New England


Winter Storm Nemo will hit Northeast United States Friday into Saturday.


A Blizzard Watch has been issued for Boston, Eastern New England by the National Weather Service.


A coastal flooding watch is also in effect for communities in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Long Island.


All Boston Public Schools will be closed on Friday. This is expected to be top 10 snowstorm all-time in Boston!


Moscow Snowfall


The most snow since the time of the last Tsar has fallen this winter on the Russian Capital.


The 7 feet of snow that has fallen has snarled traffic and created backup on the roadways around the capital that could have stretched from Moscow to Madrid.


Some commuters who were stranded in early February took as long as 10 hours getting home.


Moscow’s snow woes follow some of Russia’s most frigid temperatures in 70 years during December.


The mercury dropped to as low as minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the country outside of typically frigid Siberia.
