Christine Brown found 50 percent off sweaters and nightgowns in Burlington, noting few others were out due to a snowstorm and ongoing economic worries.

Northeast snowstorm leaves region reeling after Christmas
After a brilliant white Christmas a winter storm pummeled the Northeast, bringing up to 3 feet of snow and at least 18 deaths since Monday. Highways closed, planes grounded, and tens of thousands lost power as drivers faced hazardous, ice‑slick roads. Authorities warned of ice patches despite salt crews. The system moved from the Midwest to Pennsylvania, New York, and New England, forming off the coast as a nor’easter and marked the ninth fiercest Albany area storm since 1884.
