US-WEATHER-STORM

Children sled in Central Park after winter storm Nemo covered New York City with 4 to 8 inches (10-20cms) of snow on February 9, 2013. The storm was forecast to bring the heaviest snow to the densely-populated northeast corridor so far this winter, threatening power and transport links for tens of millions of people and the major cities of Boston and New York. New York and other regional airports saw more than 4,500 cancellations ahead of what the National Weather Service called "a major winter storm with blizzard conditions" along most of the region's coastline.
