Face-Numbing Northeast Winds to Continue Long After Blizzard Winds Down accuweather.com A blizzard will wind down across northern New England and the St. Lawrence Valley today. However, strong winds will whip across the entire Northeast. Blowing and drifting of snow will cause more trouble for motorists. The winds will not only create bitterly cold AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures, but will lead to more lake-effect snow and potential travel disruptions. Residents of the Northeast will have to endure more chilly wind through the middle of next week. By Meghan Evans AccuWeather.comSnow will continue to rack up in New England today, while a blizzard winds down across northern New England and the St. Lawrence Valley. However, high winds will persist for longer across New England and the mid-Atlantic, creating face-numbing AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures and travel disruptions. Plowers and shovelers have both had to work hard to keep up with the snow, which in a few cases set daily record Saturday, in northern New England. Severe blowing and drifting of the snow made these tasks even more difficult. Picture of the snow covering a car in Maine sent to us by Eddie Bekt on Facebook. (Send us your photos and stories on Facebook!) While the heaviest snow is over for the region, the blustery winds continuing into the first part of the week will cause more problems for motorists by further blowing and drifting snow. Burlington, Vt., received a record daily snowfall of 19.0 inches for Jan. 2 on Saturday, smashing the old record of 7.5 inches in 1947. Snowfall totals will climb above 2 feet there through tonight. Snowfall totals may reach up to a foot around the Boston area. Besides the hazards of slippery roadways in New England, people across a large area of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic will feel the winds tug at their vehicles. The strongest gusts could even steer semi-trucks off roadways. Gusty winds led to flight delays in Newark, New York City and Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Airline passengers should prepare for more delays due to the strong wind today. Click this graphic for the storm's latest snowfall map. Many Northeasterners may end up staying indoors and trying to keep warm through the rest of the weekend as AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures remain in the single digits or below zero for many areas. On Monday, it will feel like the teens and 20s for the major cities along the I-95 corridor, but it will still feel like the single digits across the interior Northeast.

The Met Office warned of icy roads across the UK and heavy snow in Yorkshire, northeast England and parts of Scotland today.
