(AP) – A winter storm that had already blanketed parts of the South in snow moved into the Northeast, snarling air travel, crushing morning commutes and giving hundreds of school districts struggling to keep kids in the classroom during a wave of new coronavirus cases an excuse to shut down for a one-day respite. Many spots in New England had received more than a foot of snow by late Friday morning. Schools in Boston closed. Providence, Rhode Island, schools switched to distance learning. New York City kept the nation’s largest school system open. Officials were advising people to stay off the roads, and more than 2,400 flights have been scrubbed. Washington County picked up a few inches of snow, but it was enough to cause several accidents around the area, including one that closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 Thursday night. Several fire departments were called out to the accident which involved a tractor trailer (pictured). There were no injuries reported. Several school districts also operated under two hour delays or went to remote learning. Greene County and points south picked up much more snow. (Photo: Charleroi Fire Department FB Page)
