Winter Storm Pounds Northeastern US

by VOA News

   A late winter storm called Stella brought blizzard conditions to parts
   of the U.S. northeast affecting some 50-million people. Snow
   accumulations of up to 60-centimeters with winds in excess of
   100-kilometers per hour were expected to affect residents from
   Philadelphia north to Maine producing hazardous driving conditions and
   poor visibility. Thousands of flights were canceled. Many school
   districts closed.
