	Related Content New York City Interactive Radar Boston Interactive Radar United States Alert Map Your Photos A late-December blizzard pummeling New England with heavy snow this afternoon is still producing high winds across much of New York City, northern New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic. This is causing major travel problems across the Northeast and into the Mid-Atlantic. Waves of snow continue to fall across southern and eastern New England. Blizzard conditions will continue through this afternoon as winds gust above 35 mph, causing white-out conditions. Numerous states of emergency have been reported from Pennsylvania to New England. This means, unless urgent, do not travel. Amtrak has resumed limited service between Boston and New York City, with service south of New York running normally, with a few delays reported. Flights are also severely affected by the blizzard. All of the New York City and northern New Jersey airports remained closed. Most are not planning to open until later this afternoon, with the New York City area airports not opening until at least 6 p.m. Flights in and out of the major East Coast airports are also being delayed or cancelled as airlines work to reposition planes. Travelers should check with their airlines for the latest information on flights. Most airlines are waiving cancellation and change fees. The roads are no better. Accidents have been plentiful across the New York metro area, causing severe backups along the major highways of the region. In New England, roads are snow covered and have led to numerous accidents. Interstate 95 from Philadelphia northward, the Garden State Parkway, Interstate 80 in New Jersey, Interstate 84 in Connecticut and New York, and Interstate 93 in Massachusetts and New Hampshire remain treacherous. Travelers are urged to remain indoors today to allow road crews to clear the snow. Some of the storm totals so far include: Lyndhurst, N.J.: 29 inches Elizabeth, N.J.: 26.5 inches Cape May, N.J.: 18 inches Tuxedo, N.Y.: 26 inches Brooklyn, N.Y.: 17.5 inches Narragansett, R.I.: 6.5 inches Saugus, Mass.: 12.3 inches Selbyville, Del.: 11.3 inches Snow Hill, Md.: 10 inches Despite these gaudy snowfall totals, there is a sharp drop off in snow accumulations north and west of the Interstate 95 from western Massachusetts to eastern Pennsylvania. For instance, Philadelphia is reporting nearly a foot of snow, while its western suburbs are reporting only 2 to 4 inches of snow. Down Interstate 95 further, Baltimore and Washington both reported less than an inch. Be sure to keep your WeatherBug active to receive the latest on the latest on the East Coast blizzard.
