MASSACHUSETTS, FRIDAY: People shield themselves as a blizzard arrives in Boston. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut and Maine were placed on emergency alert as a powerful snowstorm with hurricane-force wind gusts lashed America’s north-east this weekend. The storm buried some areas in more than three feet of snow while more than 650,000 people in the region were left without power.
