A powerful Nor'easter storm is expected to hammer parts of New England and the Middle Atlantic region this weekend with blizzard-like conditions that will make travel treacherous and bring flooding to coastal areas.

The National Weather Service on Friday issued a blizzard warning for the Boston metropolitan area, which has a population of nearly 4.9 million residents.

"It will make travel pretty much impossible," said Patrick O'Hara, an NWS meteorologist based in New Jersey. "It is the first very big storm of the year. Every few years we get one. It's not extremely unusual." Local media throughout the region reported that grocery stores were crowded with shoppers trying to stock up on essentials before the storm hit.

Libraries, churches, clinics and various retail stores in the region said they were closing on Saturday.
