The National Weather Service reported that a winter storm that pummeled New York City for two days has reportedly managed to break a monthly record for snowfall in Central Park that stood for 114 years.

The third major snowstorm of the month posed an adverse effect on travel by air, rail and road in and around New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Friday.

However, New York City area's three major airports remained open, but more than 1,000 flights were canceled Friday for the second day in a row, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey revealed.

Flights bound for JFK, Newark, Philadelphia International, Boston Logan and Washington Dulles airports were also reported to face delays due to the unfavorable weather Friday afternoon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's Web site.

Moreover, New Jersey Transit initiated a widespread suspension of bus service Friday; however, certain routes still were not running. Commuter train service was delayed in some areas and suspended on the Port Jervis Line due to the storm damage.

In addition, the storm played a huge havoc, engulfing at least three people, knocking out power to more than 700,000 electrical customers across the U. S. Northeast and grounded at least 3,844 flights from regional airports.
