NORTHFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- A killer snow and ice storm that hit the Midwest and Northeast left behind huge snow piles, frigid temperatures, and highway logjams Thursday.

The storm was blamed for at least 14 deaths.

In Pennsylvania, National Guard vehicles loaded with food, water, baby supplies and fuel delivered help to hundreds of motorists stranded on Interstate 78 Wednesday night and Thursday morning while crews try clear up a 50-mile backup on the icy, hilly highway.

The Guard began helping the motorists at about 9 p.m. Wednesday and was still at more than 12 hours later, said Lt. Col. Chris Cleaver, a Guard spokesman.

Utilities reported more than 90,000 homes and businesses without electricity early Thursday in Ohio, Maryland, northern Virginia, the District of Columbia and Delaware because of high wind and iced-up power lines.

The storm hit Wednesday, leaving up to 12 inches of snow across Pennsylvania, 15 inches in Cleveland, 19 inches in western Massachusetts and 42 inches in the southern Adirondacks in New York. Three feet of snow fell on parts of Vermont, good news for the state's beleaguered ski industry. Nearly 2 feet fell on parts of New Hampshire

In parts of the Northeast, the snow was followed by up to several inches of ice, leaving motorists with a slippery commute Thursday morning. That is, if they could free their ice-entombed cars. And with gusty wind, some areas had morning wind chills below zero.

"You can't even shovel it," said Wes Velker, an electrician who had to dig out from a foot of snow so he could go to work fixing busted water pipes and furnaces in Toledo, Ohio. "You have to take it off in layers."

In Vermont, 25.7 inches fell Wednesday at Burlington International Airport, the second-highest snowfall ever. That led the founder of Burton Snowboards in Burlington to give employees the day off Thursday.

"Nothing makes me happier than giving the people who work here the opportunity to experience the essence of a sport that they are making accessible and fun for so many others," Jake Burton said.

Many school districts, including many across upstate New York, that had canceled classes Wednesday extended the unplanned vacation by an extra day









NEW YORK — JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU) tried to calm a maelstrom of criticism Thursday, after passengers were left waiting on planes at a New York airport for as long as nine hours during a snow and ice storm.

The airline said 10 incoming and outbound flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport were "significantly delayed" with customers on board during Wednesday's storm. Reasons included congestion, frozen equipment and an effort to keep planes ready to go in case the weather broke, said JetBlue spokesman Bryan Baldwin.

Calling the delays "unacceptable," the airline planned to offer the affected passengers refunds and free flights.

ik wilde deze prachtige foto toch nog even hier laten zien...



After a late-winter snow and ice storm, the clouds over the Northeast United States cleared on February 19, 2007, affording the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite this stunning view of the brown and white landscape. Snow stretches from Maine to Virginia, highlighting the curving folds of the Appalachian Mountains, branch-like rivers and streams, and the solid white smoothness of frozen lakes. Beautiful though the snow is, it trapped hundreds of motorists in eastern Pennsylvania, shut down some air and train travel, closed businesses and schools, triggered power outages, and caused 15 deaths, reported CNN on February 15.

Huge Winter Storm heads East

DETROIT Feb 25, 2007 (AP)— A huge winter storm barreled toward the East Coast on Sunday after dumping more than a foot of snow on the Upper Midwest, causing seven traffic deaths in Wisconsin and closing major highways in the Plains.

Parts of Wisconsin could get 18 to 24 inches of snow before the storm passes, said Tom Zajdel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wis.

The storm knocked out power to more than 100,000 customers, mostly in Iowa, where freezing rain coated trees and power lines. Outages were also reported in Oklahoma, Nebraska and Ohio.

"The snow is so wet it's sticking to power poles and power lines," said Bill Taylor of the National Weather Service office in North Platte, Neb.

Snow, sleet and freezing rain caused hundreds of flights to be canceled or delayed Saturday in Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, while whiteouts occurred in Colorado and Kansas.

Interstate 70, a major cross-country route, was closed for about 400 miles in both directions from just east of Denver to Salina, Kan., because of blowing snow and slippery pavement.

Between Denver and the beginning of the highway closure, about 35 cars collided in a pileup on an icy section of I-70. No major injuries were reported.

The weather service reported wind gusts of 68 mph in the Denver area. In Kansas, winds whipped about 3 inches of snowfall into 7-foot drifts.

A number of other highways also were closed in Wyoming and Nebraska. But many roads reopened later Saturday, including most of Interstate 80 in Nebraska. More than 270 miles there had been closed.

The National Weather Service posted blizzard and winter storm warnings for parts of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Between 15 inches to 18 inches of snow had fallen between Winona, Minn., and La Crosse, Wis., by Saturday evening, according to the weather service.

As conditions worsened in Winona County, deputies turned to four-wheel drive vehicles. The blinding snow caused around 50 cars to spin out or go into the ditch, authorities said. (ABCNews 25-2-07)

Acht verkeersdoden door sneeuw in VS

AMSTERDAM - Een zware sneeuwstorm heeft in het weekeinde in het middenwesten van de Verenigde Staten tot acht doden in het verkeer geleid, zeven in Wisconsin en één in Kansas.

Op sommige plaatsen viel wel zestig centimeter sneeuw. Ook veel andere staten werden getroffen.

Stroom

In Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska en Ohio kwamen talloze huishoudens en bedrijven zonder stroom te zitten en op de internationale luchthaven van Chicago werden zaterdag en zondag in totaal 430 vluchten geannuleerd. Zo'n duizend gestrande passagiers brachten de nacht op het vliegveld door.

Bij een kettingbotsing die zich zaterdagavond op een snelweg in Chicago voordeed door de sneeuw raakten negen mensen gewond. De sneeuwstorm trok zondag verder in de richting van de oostkust.

Weer een halve meter de laatste paar dagen.

Het sneeuwschuiven wordt lastig nu het dooit overdag (zware sneeuw)

Nu weet ik weer waarom ik de lente zo leuk vindt. Als je echt vier 'seizoenen' hebt dan weet je de andere drie ook te waarderen.

Asian Pollution has effect on Winter Storms in US?

Air pollution blowing over the western US from Asia has been a growing environmental concern for several years. Now, it seems, it's giving winter storms added punch as well.

Tiny aerosols and soot from burning wood and coal in winter, especially in China, appear to be seeding clouds in large winter storms that churn thousands of miles east across the northern Pacific, says a team of US scientists. The pollution is turning relatively routine marine rain clouds into towering thunderheads, much like those seen above land.

Previous studies have shown that during the last half of the 20th century, northern Pacific winter storms have become steadily more frequent and stronger, based on tracking wind speeds and atmospheric pressure. The latest results, published last week, indicate that ill winds blowing out of Asia are adding muscle to the types of clouds these stronger winter cyclones carry.

The team posits that the shift toward these types of clouds, with their strong updrafts, could be altering global circulation patterns – perhaps even masking the effects of global warming, because the thicker, taller clouds reflect more sunlight back into space. And they could be contributing to more rapid melting of snow and ice in the Arctic as dark soot is lofted by strong updrafts in these clouds and carried north to fall back to the surface.

Others have noted this effect of smoke and soot on individual thunderstorms in the Amazon. But this is the first time researchers have seen the effect on storm systems hundreds of miles across.

"As you change things in the atmosphere, whether it's particulates or climate change, all of the effects are not obvious" immediately, says Renyi Zhang, an atmospheric scientist at Texas A&M University in College Station, who led the study.

A poor grasp on aerosols' effects

The team has long been interested in the effects soot and tiny particles called aerosols have on climate. The latest report on global-warming science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released last month, shows that researchers have a poor grasp on these effects. Of all the agents affecting climate – sunlight, greenhouse gases, mineral dust blowing around, for example – the "indirect" effect aerosols have on climate through seeding clouds remains the largest source of uncertainty the report lists

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- This has been the world's warmest winter since record-keeping began more than a century ago, the U.S. government agency that tracks weather reported Thursday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said the combined global land and ocean surface temperature from December through February was at its highest since records began in 1880.

A record-warm January was responsible for pushing up the combined winter temperature, according to the agency's Web site.

"Contributing factors were the long-term trend toward warmer temperatures, as well as a moderate El Nino in the Pacific," Jay Lawrimore of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center said in a telephone interview from Asheville, North Carolina.

The next-warmest winter on record was in 2004, and the third warmest winter was in 1998, Lawrimore said.

The 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 1995.

"We don't say this winter is evidence of the influence of greenhouse gases," Lawrimore said.

However, he noted that his center's work is part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change process, which released a report on global warming last month that found climate change is occurring and that human activities quite likely play a role in the change.

"So we know as a part of that, the conclusions have been reached and the warming trend is due in part to rises in greenhouse gas emissions," Lawrimore said. "By looking at long-term trends and long-term changes, we are able to better understand natural and anthropogenic [human-caused] climate change."

The combined temperature for the December-February period was 1.3 degrees F (0.72 degree C) above the 20th century mean, the agency said.

Lawrimore did not give an absolute temperature for the three-month period, and said the deviation from the mean was what was important. He did not provide the 20th century mean temperature.

Temperatures were above average for these months in Europe, Asia, western Africa, southeastern Brazil and the northeast half of the United States, with cooler-than-average conditions in parts of Saudi Arabia and the central United States.

Global temperature on land surface during the Northern Hemisphere winter was also the warmest on record, while the ocean-surface temperature tied for second warmest after the winter of 1997-98.

Over the past century, global surface temperatures have increased by about 0.11 degree F per decade, but the rate of increase has been three times larger since 1976 -- around 0.32 degree F per decade, with some of the biggest temperature rises in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

NEW YORK (ANP) - Hevige sneeuwstormen die in het noordoosten van de Verenigde Staten worden verwacht hebben vrijdag geleid tot de annulering van ruim duizend vluchten. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen hebben deels uit voorzorg gehandeld, om te voorkomen dat duizenden passagiers op luchthavens stranden.

In de staat New York zullen tientallen centimeters sneeuw vallen. Vooral de internationale luchthaven John F. Kennedy in de stad New York en de vliegvelden LaGuardia in de Newyorkse wijk Queens en Newark in New Jersey zullen grote hinder ondervinden van het noodweer.

==========================
NEW YORK (CNN) -- JetBlue canceled all its New York flights Friday.

The discount airline led a list of carriers canceling flights to and from the East Coast because of harsh winter weather.

Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Northwest Airlines also canceled flights

The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for an area covering northern New Jersey and most of Pennsylvania, New York and the New England states.

A heavy snow warning was in effect for central New York state.

CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said morning rain was likely to turn to snow from New York City to Boston, and then to sleet, which was expected to fall all night Friday.

He said the nor'easter was expected to dump from 12 to 24 inches of snow north and west of New York City.

CNN's Alina Cho reported that some passengers were stranded at New York's LaGuardia Airport, but plenty of flights were leaving on time and at least one flight took off a few minutes early.

By early afternoon, the Federal Aviation Administration Web site showed delays averaging three hours for flights bound for Newark and two hours for those bound for Philadelphia. (Watch why airlines had to cancel flights even before weather got bad )

JetBlue canceled 215 flights Friday morning and 15 on Thursday evening, according to a spokesman. Most of those flights were to or from the three New York-area airports -- John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark's Liberty Airport.

"This time around, we've strategically canceled flights so we have pilots and crews in place to restart operations when the storm passes," said company spokesman Sebastian White.

The decision came after storms in mid-February stranded thousands of passengers at airports and in planes on the tarmac waiting to move. The problems caused by that storm cost JetBlue $30 million. (Full story)

Delta spokeswoman Katie Connell said the airline canceled more than 100 flights between Thursday evening and Saturday morning throughout the Northeast -- primarily in the New York City area -- in anticipation of bad weather.

The airline is waiving all cancellation fees and penalties, and is updating its passengers via its Web site, text messages and e-mails on cancellations and delays
