Winter storm bringing fury to the Northeast early Monday

BOSTON -- A winter storm was bringing its fury to the Northeast early Monday, prompting the cancellation of flights, classes and major court cases a day after it dumped up to a foot-and-a-half of snow on the Chicago area and blanketed much of the Plains and Midwest.

The snow storm, which the National Weather Service said had brought 18.4 inches of snow to Chicago by early Monday, was expected to bring accumulations of 9 to 16 inches to Boston and nearly as much to Hartford, Providence, southern New Hampshire and Vermont.

The Windy City was hit with blizzard-like conditions, reports CBS News correspondent Don Dahler.

A winter storm warning was in effect in Boston, where it was expected to snow at a rate of one to three inches per hour, with the bulk of it coming at the height of the morning commute, reports CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller. The storm was expected to add another foot of snow to the nearly 25 inches that accumulated last week in what came to be known as the Blizzard of 2015.
