A late weekend snowstorm with winds up to 50 mph halts power and transport from Maine to southern Pennsylvania, bringing up to two feet of wet snow and a flood risk as melting snow swells rivers. More than 60 families evacuated near Oldwinsville, New York, as the Seneca River overflowed. City flooding and outages plague Boston, New York, and Hartford regions with dozens of deaths attributed to shoveling snow and flooding. An air-sea search for three missing Marines resumes as helicopters and cutters scour coastal New York waters for a Beechcraft Beechcraft twin engine plane missing since Saturday afternoon. The storm drops a historic 2.7 inch snowfall in New York City.
