| Quote: | ALBANY, N.Y. - Heavy snow fell across northern sections of the Northeast on Monday, capping a December of unusually heavy snow in some areas.
The Albany area got 11 inches of snow from late Sunday to midmorning Monday. About a foot of snow fell in central New Hampshire, the National Weather Service said.
Albany International Airport canceled two early morning flights, and getting to work was a chore for many drivers in New Hampshire as the snow continued falling.
Some sections of major highways in New Hampshire were covered with several inches of snow at the start of the commute and police reported many spinouts and crashes.
On some New Hampshire side roads, drivers had to slow to a crawl because the fluffy snow was higher than their bumpers and flowed up onto their hoods and windshields, causing personal whiteouts.
Snow blew sideways in Augusta, Maine, and flakes accumulated to as much as 7 inches deep in some southern sections of the state, falling at a rate of up to 1.5 inches per hour, the weather service said.
The storm added to an already snowy month in Maine.
The weather service said the Bangor area had more than 34 inches for the month as of Sunday, compared to a normal December total of about 13 inches. Only 2 1/2 inches fell in the area last year. Nearly 51 inches of snow had fallen in the Caribou area of northern Maine, compared to the normal 25 inches.
Albany had its seventh snowiest December since 1795 as Monday's snow brought the December total to at least 31.1 inches, more than double the average of 12.3 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
A second storm is expected in the region on New Year's Day, bringing up to 9 additional inches of snow to higher elevations of upstate New York.
"A good portion of the Northeast is going to get in on this second storm," said National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Frugis in Albany. |

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars

A bit OT but...
O'Hare in Chicago is having trouble with the snow. I came back from Italy on New Year's Eve and before we landed, you couldn't see a thing out the window. It's a wonder how the pilot landed. But our flight managed to land before all the worse weather hit.
