Edition.cnn.com by Ashley Hayes (excerpts):  Airline passengers left stranded by a freak snow storm that pounded the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states were waiting to get to their destinations Sunday, many after spending a restless night on cots or airport floors.  More than 4 million people in at least five states were without power Sunday, as the storm moved off shore.  Up to five deaths, some in traffic accidents, were blamed on the storm.  The storm prompted the closure of Newark International Airport.  Also in New Jersey, Teterboro Airport closed Saturday afternoon, but reopened hours later, the Federal Aviation Administration said.  The FAA also reported major delays of up to five hours or more at New York's John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports on Saturday.   Other forms of travel were also impacted.  An Amtrak train with 48 passengers on board was stuck for nearly 13 hours when a rock slide resulting from the snow storm blocked the tracks near Palmer, Massachusetts, said Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham.  "It's like a blizzard, you can't see far at all," Alban Ajro of Watertown, Connecticut said Saturday night.  In Philadelphia, Interstate 95 was closed Sunday morning after black ice caused some 30 cars to crash, authorities told CNN afiliate KYW.  Two people were killed, the station said.  At least three deaths on Saturday were linked to the unusual October snowstorm.  An 84-year-old man was napping on his recliner in Temple, Pennsylvania on Saturday, when part of a large snow-filled tree fell into his house and killed him, according to a state police report.  With numerous downed trees in the area, rescue crews took two hours to safely remove the victim, police said.  A motorist died in Hebron, Connecticut, state emergency spokesman Scott Devico said.  A third person was killed in Springfield, Massachusetts, when a man in his 20s ignored a police barricade surrounding downed power lines and touched a metal guard rail, which was charged, said city fire department spokesman Dennis Legere.  Snow buried parts of New Jersey and New York on Saturday, including 15.5 inches in West Milford, New Jersey, and 12 inches in Harriman, New York.  Cities in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland saw more than nine inches of snow in less than one day.  The Governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts issued emergency declarations for their states.  Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy said Sunday that some 40 shelters are open, in addition to places where people can go to warm up, take a shower, or charge their phones.  "We are expecting record lows tonight, which means we are going to have some freezing conditions in the morning," he said.  Sunday evening, the state's largest utility, Connecticut Light and Power, reported nearly 788,000 customers were still without electricity.  A total of about 807,500 households were in the dark in Connecticut.  Elsewhere, about 1.9 million customers were without power Sunday in Pennsylvania, 639,000 in Massachusetts, 584,000 in New Jersey and 299,000 in New York, according to figures from power companies in those states.  Thousands also lost power in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.  

Commentary:  Being without power during this "record low" has to be devastating to the people in these states.  Record breaking storms during the tornado season and now this!  With flooding throughout so many other parts of the world and the raging, record breaking fires earlier this year; have you ever heard of anything like this?  It is phenomenal; it is actually the hand of God, according to the scriptures:  "Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, He will cast down to the earth with His hand" Isaiah 28:2.  "You will be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire" Isaiah 29:6.  God pronounced these things would happen because the people refused to repent and turn to Him.  This is not a popular message, but it is the truth.  The people of this world need to repent of rampant wickedness and serve God, while there is time, because throughout His Word, He demands it, or their are consequences.  If you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this site.  God bless you.
