BOSTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - A rare October snowstorm barreled up the heavily populated U.S. East Coast on Saturday, threatening up to a foot (30 cm) of snow, cutting power to nearly a million households and forcing at least 1,000 flight cancellations.
Snow was falling from central Pennsylvania well into Massachusetts after blanketing parts of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland earlier in the day, AccuWeather.com said.
The storm brought more than an inch (2.5 cm) of snow to New York’s Central Park, breaking a record that had stood since 1925, AccuWeather.com said. America’s most populous city stood to get 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15 cm) of snow before the storm tapers off on Saturday night, AccuWeather.com senior meteorologist Alan Reppert said.
Snow also fell in the U.S. capital, Washington.
Widespread power outages caused by snow, ice and falling trees were reported from the Mid-Atlantic into New England, leaving hundreds of thousands of customers in the dark.
Major delays were reported at Philadelphia International Airport and at New York-area airports. At least 1,000 flights had been canceled, and Teterboro Airport in New Jersey closed for a period of time, said flight tracking service FlightAware.com.
The snow posed traffic and parking problems for some 100,000 college football fans attending a game between Pennsylvania State and the University of Illinois in State College, Pennsylvania. Snow plows had to clear the field before the game.
“It’s a strong storm for October,” said AccuWeather.com senior meteorologist Paul Walker. “We don’t usually see storms this deep and this strong.”
The power outages included 287,943 customers reported by Connecticut Light and Power; 200,000 by PSE&G in New Jersey; more than 300,000 by First Energy in Pennsylvania and New Jersey; more than 50,000 by Consolidated Edison in New York and more than 66,000 by Allegheny Power in Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
PROTESTERS HUNKER DOWN AGAINST WIND AND COLD
In New York City, the snow and cold tested the resolve of Occupy Wall Street members protesting U.S. economic inequality. Buffeted by strong winds, the protesters hunkered down in snow-covered tents in a park in Manhattan’s financial district, where the movement first set up camp six weeks ago, sparking dozens of similar occupations in city parks across the United States.
“We knew this would be tough. We didn’t start this as a sort of summer of love, it’s the winter of discontent,” said Alan Collinge, 41, from Seattle, as he poked his head out of a tent.
The storm came a day after the New York Fire Department, citing safety hazards, confiscated generators that had been powering heat, computers and a kitchen in the park.
For some in the path of the storm, the big flakes caused excitement instead of headaches.
“There’s almost like an electric buzz when the first snow falls,” said Anna Weltz, communications director for Seven Springs Mountain Resort, about 60 miles (96 km) southeast of Pittsburgh.
By early afternoon, 6 inches (15 cm) of snow were already on the ground at the family ski resort, where phones were ringing off the hook with people asking about opening day.
“And it’s still coming down,” said Weltz. “What a sight.”
While October snow is not unprecedented, the storm could be record-setting in terms of snow totals.
Hartford, Connecticut, Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Worcester, Massachusetts were among the cities that could be blanketed with up to a foot of snow, forecasters said.
Cities along the East Coast including Allentown, Boston and New York, typically see their first measurable snowfalls late November into mid-December, the Weather Channel said.
In Boston, the rain was expected to turn to snow overnight, bringing up to 4 inches (10 cm), forecasters said.
Wind gusts along the coast could reach 45 miles per hour (72 kph), forecasters said, adding to the tree limbs and power lines already expected to be down from the heavy, wet snow.

Slut: Puta
Although the ultimate origin of slut is unknown, it first appeared in Middle English in 1402 as slutte (AHD), with the meaning "a dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman."[2] Even earlier, Geoffrey Chaucer used the word sluttish (c.1386) to describe a slovenly man; however, later uses appear almost exclusively associated with women.[2] The modern sense of "a sexually promiscuous woman" dates to at least 1450.
Aunque el origen último de la puta es desconocido, se apareció por primera vez en Inglés Medio en 1402 como slutte (AHD), con el significado de "una mujer sucia, descuidada o desaliñada". [2] Incluso antes, Geoffrey Chaucer utiliza la palabra puerco (c.1386) para describir a un hombre desaliñado;. Sin embargo, luego usa aparecen asocia casi exclusivamente con las mujeres [2] El sentido moderno de "una mujer promiscua" se remonta al menos a 1450.
-----
Another early meaning was "kitchen maid or drudge" (c. 1450), a meaning retained as late as the 18th century, when hard knots of dough found in bread were referred to as "slut's pennies."[2] A notable example of this use is Samuel Pepys's diary description of his servant girl as "an admirable slut" who "pleases us mightily, doing more service than both the others and deserves wages better" (February 1664). In the 19th century, the word was used as a euphemism in place of "bitch" in the sense of a female dog.
Otro significado inicial fue "ayudante de cocina o de esclavo" (c. 1450), conserva un significado tan tardía como el siglo 18, cuando nudos duros de la masa en el pan se conoce como "monedas de un centavo de puta". [2] Un ejemplo notable de este uso es la descripción de Samuel Pepys del diario de su criada, como "una puta admirable" que "nos complace grandemente, haciendo más servicios que los otros dos y se merece mejores salarios" (febrero 1664). En el siglo 19, la palabra fue usada como un eufemismo en lugar de "puta" en el sentido de una perra.
----
Similar words appear in Dutch, German and Swedish dialects meaning "a dirty woman," indicating a common ancestor in Germanic languages. The word entered the colloquial Yiddish as "akhsluttishkha" meaning "a hag". It exists in Ukrainian too as slutyj as a loan word from Yiddish or via the mediaeval Scandinavian Varangian colonists in Kievan Rus'. A popular theory connects slut to earlier Germanic forms meaning "slush" or "mud puddle," but this derivation remains in question.
Palabras similares aparecen en los dialectos holandés, alemán y sueco que significa "una mujer sucia", lo que indica un ancestro común en las lenguas germánicas. La palabra entró en el Yiddish coloquial como "akhsluttishkha" que significa "una bruja". Existe también en ucraniano como slutyj como un préstamo del yiddish oa través de la Edad Media colonos escandinavos varegos en la Rus de Kiev. Una teoría popular puta conecta a las formas anteriores germánico que significa "lodo" o "charco", pero esta derivación se mantiene en cuestión.

BBC: Definite article
The definite article, 'the' | ||
Two
questions this week on the use of the definite article, the. Yang Xi from China writes: I am a beginner but one question has troubled me for a long time. It may be easy, but it is difficult for me. The question is: when do we place the in front of a noun and when do we take it away? Raufhameed from Pakistan writes: I am a bit confused this week about the use of the definite article. Grammar books are too comprehensive and don't satisfy me. I would like to know more about the use of the definite article in daily language. Is this sentence correct: 'He has been working at the Indus Dolphin Reserve for over 25 years'? |
Roger replies: | more questions | |
always use the definite
article
a)
before singular and plural nouns when you are talking about things that both
speakers know about. In your example, Raufhameed, both speakers know all about the dolphin reserve, so use of the definite article is clearly correct. Further examples:
| ||||
b)
with certain geographical locations or areas, collections of states or islands,
mountain ranges, seas and rivers - if you are not sure where any of the
following places are, check them out in an atlas: The People's Republic of China, The United Kingdom, The United States of America, The Philippines, The Bahamas, The Netherlands, The Channel Islands, The Far East, The Alps, The Andes, The Cairngorms, The Himalayas, The Rockies, The Hindu Kush, The Pacific Ocean, The Mediterranean, The Dead Sea, The Black Sea, The Arabian Sea, The Thames, The Yangtze, The Ganges, The White Nile, The Mississippi, The Amazon | ||||
c) with groups of people, and
with musical and scientific instruments and animals when you are discussing them
as categories:
| ||||
always omit the definite
article
d)
when making general statements about things, people and abstract ideas. In the
following examples, a general statement (= - the) is contrasted with a specific reference (= + the):
| ||||
e) when talking about particular
countries, continents, towns, streets, buildings, lakes and mountains: China,
Pakistan, America, England, (Great) Britain, South America, Central America.
| ||||
f) when talking about transport,
meals, games in general terms and with certain time expressions, months,
seasons, etc.
