Blizzard helps online sales, shippers (with Pictures, Photos)
Latest News Update: December 20, 2009
The blizzard along the U.S. East Coast will mean more online holiday shopping, with express shippers benefiting most, a Maryland business school said. Last minute holiday shoppers will not find the deep discounts online that may be found at brick-and-mortar stores, Professor Peter Morici of the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business said in a release Sunday. The weather conditions have curtailed mall traffic, which means more online competition for fewer goods. Item prices will be higher and online retailers will probably charge premiums for express services that will exceed the additional costs imposed by UPS, FedEx and other shippers, Morici said.

Heavy snowfall hits North America
Latest News Update: Feb. 7, 2010
The heavy snow toppled trees and sagged power lines, leaving more than 350,000 people without electricity in Maryland and neighbouring Virginia. Most flights were cancelled on Saturday at the Washington-Baltimore area's three main airports and at Philadelphia International Airport. Electricity was cut in many homes and offices in Washington DC - including Al Jazeera's broadcast centre - as power lines were knocked out by the powerful storm. Residents in the affected areas have taken to referring to the storm online as a "snowpocalypse" or "snowmageddon", including on social networking site Twitterand Flickr- a photo-sharing website. "The storm in Mexico and the storm in the US are actually part and parcel of the same storm," Steff Gaulter, Al Jazeera's meteorologist, said. "It started off over Mexico, then headed north over Texas and the southeast of the United States, and is now giving blizzards to the east coast.

Philadelphia: Next snowstorm could be a record-breaker (Pictures, Photos)
Latest News Update: Feb. 9, 2010
It calls for yet another mega-snowstorm, a foot plus, maybe up to 20 inches, more than enough to make this the snowiest winter on record in Philadelphia. Philadelphia already has had an unprecedented two two-foot snowstorms this winter, and never before in records dating to 1884 have back-to-back whoppers hit within a few days. Three monster storms did affect the region within a week in January 1978, with seven inches of precipitation - the equivalent of six feet of snow - but only one of those was all snow. Typically, the atmosphere likes to catch its breath.  Read more... http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_...d-breaker.html
