Skiers stride through deep snow in New York's Central Park during a snowstorm, February 12, 2006. The biggest snowstorm of the season belted the northeastern United States on Sunday with whiteout conditions and flashes of lightning, forcing airports to close, snarling traffic and bringing joy to ski resorts. As much as 22.8 inches (57.9 cm) of snow fell in New York's central park, the second heaviest snowfall on record, topped only by a blizzard in 1947, said the National Weather Service. [Reuters] |
