About: January 2022 North American blizzard

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The January 2022 North American blizzard caused widespread and disruptive impacts to the Atlantic coast of North America from Delaware to Nova Scotia with as much as 2.5 feet (30 in) of snowfall, blizzard conditions and coastal flooding at the end of January 2022. Forming from the energy of a strong mid- to upper-level trough, the system developed into a low-pressure area off the Southeast United States on January 28. The system then quickly intensified that night as it traveled northeastly parallel to the coast on January 29, bringing heavy snowfall blown by high winds to the East Coast of the continent. Further north, it also moved inland in Maine and its width meant it strongly impacted all three of Canada's Maritime provinces. In some areas, mainly the coastal regions of New Jersey, Lo

  • The January 2022 North American blizzard caused widespread and disruptive impacts to the Atlantic coast of North America from Delaware to Nova Scotia with as much as 2.5 feet (30 in) of snowfall, blizzard conditions and coastal flooding at the end of January 2022. Forming from the energy of a strong mid- to upper-level trough, the system developed into a low-pressure area off the Southeast United States on January 28. The system then quickly intensified that night as it traveled northeastly parallel to the coast on January 29, bringing heavy snowfall blown by high winds to the East Coast of the continent. Further north, it also moved inland in Maine and its width meant it strongly impacted all three of Canada's Maritime provinces. In some areas, mainly the coastal regions of New Jersey, Long Island and Massachusetts, it was the first blizzard since a storm in January 2018. The storm was considered a "bomb cyclone" as it rapidly intensified and barometric pressure dropped at least 24 millibars over a 24-hour period. The storm was given names such as Blizzard of 2022 and Winter Storm Kenan. Several states in the Mid-Atlantic area and New England declared states of emergency ahead of the storm as it developed. In most areas, some transportation services, such as rail, buses, ferries and highway bridges, were closed or postponed, including thousands of flights being cancelled. Blizzard conditions were verified along the direct Atlantic Ocean coastline (which excludes New York City) from Delaware to the eastern coast of Maine plus throughout Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts and Maine. Road conditions were dangerous in all areas with many roads unable to be traveled on due to the depth of snow. Strong wind gusts as high as 99 mph (159 km/h) knocked out power to over 130,000 residents in the affected regions. At least 4 people died as a result of the blizzard, all on Long Island, with two occurring indirectly from shoveling snow. The impact of the storm was reduced because it occurred on Friday night and Saturday when schools were closed and few people were commuting. The blizzard caused at least $50 million in damages. (en)
