NEW YORK—A late winter storm dropped more than a foot of snow on parts of the northeastern United States overnight—prompting school closures across the region, knocking out power to thousands and slowing the Monday morning commute to a crawl.
The storm, which hit the hardest in the early morning hours of Monday, March 4, dumped more than a foot of fresh snow on a large swath of New England, hitting some areas that had gotten off relatively unscathed for most of the winter.
