 Coastal areas from Maryland to Maine remain under flood warnings as a powerful nor'easter moves further out to sea after inundating roads, snapping trees and knocking out power to more than 2 million homes and businesses. It slammed much of the Northeast with heavy snow and rain, prompting significant coastal flooding and hurricane-force gusts in New England. A National Guard vehicle takes emergency workers to rescue flood-trapped residents Friday in Quincy, Massachusetts. The storm also dumped heavy snow from Ohio to New England and into upstate New York, where more than 3 feet was recorded. • Aftermath response: The governors of Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts issued emergency declarations, allowing state and local agencies to help those affected. That compares with more than 3,000 US flights scratched Friday, most at the busiest Northeast airports in Boston, Philadelphia and New York 
 
 • Train services: Amtrak said nearly all its services between Boston and Washington D.C. were expected to resume Sunday after storm-related cancellations Friday. A powerful nor'easter morphed into a "bomb cyclone," bringing rain, snow and heavy winds to parts of the East Coast.

– The powerful nor'easter that transformed into a bomb cyclone and pummeled a 1,000-mile stretch of the East Coast with rain, snow, wind, and flooding Friday and Saturday left at least six people dead, the Washington Post reports. According to CNN, winds hit over 90 miles per hour off the Massachusetts coast, and so far the reported deaths were all caused by falling trees. The victims include a 77-year-old woman in Maryland, an 11-year-old boy in New York, a 44-year-old man in Virginia, a 6-year-old in Virginia, a 72-year-old man in Rhode Island, and two men in Connecticut. A 57-year-old man was also reported dead in Pennsylvania, the AP reports. "It was pretty scary," Alyssa Fitzgerald of Quincy, Massachusetts, tells CNN. She says the storm was "not like anything we've had before." Over 2 million homes and businesses lost power Friday and early Saturday. Officials say it could be days before it's restored to some customers. Meanwhile, Capt. John Dougan of the Quincy Police Department says the flooding is "the worst that we've seen in years." Boston Harbor had a high tide Friday of 14.67 feet—the third highest since 1928. Around 19 million people remained under flood warning Saturday afternoon. "We're seeing homes underwater, their basements were flooded out," says Dougan, whose department performed over 250 rescues from Friday to Saturday morning. One Massachusetts official urged residents to stay in their homes and not go "out sightseeing and gawking." Upstate New York received over 3 feet of snow, leading Syracuse University to declare a snow day for only the third time in its history. More than 3,000 flights were canceled Friday alone.
