'A good day to stay home': Heavy snow slams South, brings more travel woes to Northeast A winter storm that pasted portions of the South on Thursday moved into the Northeast early Friday, bringing heavy snow and travel troubles to cities such as Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The storm forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights in and out of the three airports in the New York metro area, according to FlightAware.com. Travelers were advised to check with their airlines. Some of the highest snow amounts in the Northeast are being reported in Rhode Island and Connecticut, AccuWeather said. Burrillville, Rhode Island, had reported 13 inches as of 9 a.m. The storm also hit parts of the South on Thursday, where Kentucky reported over half a foot of snow in many areas. Snow also covered much of Tennessee, including Nashville which saw 6.3 inches. 📸: Angela Weiss (Getty Images), Drew Angerer (Getty Images), Thomas P.
