                    Northeast US Bracing for Major Blizzard

   by VOA News

   Authorities in the northeastern United States are urging people to stay
   home and off the roads as a major winter storm - potentially of
   historic size and strength - takes aim at the region.
   The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings from Friday
   morning through Saturday afternoon from Maine to New York, including
   Boston and New York City. As much as 61 centimeters of snow is
   expected.
   Conditions during the height of the storm are predicted to be deadly,
   with temperatures below freezing, almost no visibility and wind gusts
   as high as 105 kilometers per hour.
   Forecasters say the effects of this storm could rival a blizzard in
   1978 that buried Boston under 69 centimeters of snow and crippled New
   England for days.
