nor'easter

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says an investigation has been launched into the preparations and response of the state's seven major utility companies to the two early March nor'easters that knocked out power to nearly 600,000 homes and businesses.

The National Weather Service says central New York could get 6 to 12 inches of snow in the latest round of weather woes.

The third powerful nor'easter in two weeks slammed the Northeast on Tuesday, bringing blizzard conditions and 2 feet of snow to some communities and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses.

The third major nor'easter in two weeks started to slam the storm-battered Northeast Tuesday morning with blizzard conditions expected in some areas.

Much of the Northeast is bracing for blizzard conditions, a foot or more of snow and high winds as the third major nor'easter in 10 days bears down on the region.

The arduous recovery from the latest storm to pummel the Northeast will likely stretch through the weekend as utility crews work to clear downed trees and power lines and restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of customers — with a possible third nor'easter in the offing.

Utility workers took advantage of milder temperatures and sunshine Tuesday in their scramble to restore power to thousands of customers around the Northeast, as another snowy, blowy nor'easter threatened a new round of outages.

Winter Storm Warnings and Weather Advisories are in effect for the Twin Tiers until early March 8.

New York State Electric and Gas customers hardest hit by power outages from the March 3 storm may be finding their power back just in time to be hit with the next snow storm.

Even as much of the Northeast continues to clean up after last week's nor'easter, another storm is heading for the region.
