Storm Brings Heavy Snow to Northern New York and Vermont – The New York Times

A storm system on Saturday brought heavy rain to the Northeast and heavy snow to parts of New England and Northern New York, leaving more than 300,000 customers in several states without electricity.

Nearly 200,000 customers in Maine, more than 75,000 customers in New Hampshire and more than 89,000 in New York State were without power as of early Sunday morning, according to PowerOutage.us, a website that tracks power failures.

In New York City, the heavy rain and snow cleared overnight, according to the National Weather Service. But parts of New Jersey remained under flood advisories Sunday morning, particularly along the coast.

In some regions on Sunday morning — including parts of New Jersey’s Somerset, Cumberland and Ocean Counties — a flood warning remained in effect, which is a more serious alert that warns of imminent flooding.

The outages and weather notices followed a day of heavy precipitation across the region.

In Central Park, a record 3.66 inches of rain fell on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Further north, Corinth, N.Y., reported over 20 inches of snow by Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Philadelphia had 3.06 inches of rain, the wettest calendar day ever recorded in March in the official observing station since 1872, according to the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, Pa.
