Mega blizzard aims at US Northeast

A major snowstorm bore down on the northeastern United States yesterday, with heavy snow, blizzard conditions and freezing temperatures forecast from New York through Maine as well as densely populated inland areas.
The National Weather Service predicted a "major winter storm" starting from Friday said New York City was in for blizzard conditions, including sustained strong winds and snowfall.
The storm comes a little over three months after Hurricane Sandy devastated the area of New York City and New Jersey, killing 132 people and causing damages estimated at over $71.4 billion.
