New Englanders struggled to dig out from as much as 3 feet of snow Saturday and emergency crews used snowmobiles to reach shivering motorists stranded on New York’s Long Island after a howling storm swept through the Northeast

 About 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity, and some could be cold and dark for days. Many roads across the New York-to-Boston corridor of roughly 25 million people were impassable. Cars were entombed by drifts. And some people woke up in the morning to find the snow packed so high they couldn’t get their doors open.

“It’s like lifting cement. They say it’s 2 feet, but I think it’s more like 3 feet,” said Michael Levesque, who was shoveling snow in Quincy, Mass., as part of a work crew for a landscaping company. More at Foxnews
