Blizzard Dumps Record Snowfall On New York
New York, NY (AFP) Feb 12, 2006 A powerful blizzard sweeping the East Coast Sunday has dumped a record snowfall on New York's Central Park, a federal weathercaster said. The snowfall in Central Park measured a record 26.9 inches (68.33 centimeters) deep at 4:00 pm local time, Bruce Sullivan, senior forecaster with the National Weather Service, told AFP. That broke the record of 26.4 inches (67.06 centimeters) set in December 26-27, 1947, he said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg earlier warned that the storm was dangerous, with gusting winds to 40 miles per hour (64 kilometers) and extremely poor visibility, the city's official web site said. The winter storm, which moved into the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states Saturday, has left more than 200,000 people without electricity and shut down air traffic.
