Nor'easter slams the Northeast


People across the Northeast rushed home early from their workday Monday as mass transit options closed early amid forecasts of a "crippling and potentially historic" storm that could bury communities from northern New Jersey to southern Maine in up to 2 feet of snow.

The National Weather Service said the nor'easter would bring heavy snow, powerful winds and widespread coastal flooding through Tuesday. A blizzard warning was issued for a 250-mile stretch of the Northeast, including New York and Boston. (AP)
