[1/3] Debris from overnight flooding along Cedar Pond Brook is pictured in Stony Point, New York, U.S., July 10, 2023. "Widespread, heavy rainfall capable of producing considerable to catastrophic flooding is beginning to unfold, road washouts are ongoing, and are expected to increase in extent and severity over the course of the day," the weather service said on Monday. On Monday morning, Amtrak suspended passenger train service between Albany and New York after flooding damaged tracks. "So that's basically what our priority is today, to try to get to them and open up these major arteries." About two dozen state roads were closed as life-threatening flooding spread across much of the state from the Massachusetts state line north to the Canadian border, Vermont State Police said.

Parts of the Burlington, Vermont, area have seen 6 inches (15 cm) of rain, with 2 inches (5 cm)of downpours expected Monday afternoon. Amtrak suspended passenger train service between the state capital Albany and New York City after flooding damaged tracks. Amtrak shares some of that route's track with the Metro-North commuter railroad into New York, which suspended some service on that line and another. "This is an all-hands-on-deck" event, Vermont Governor Phil Scott said at a news conference, a day after declaring a state of emergency for Vermont. About two dozen state roads were closed as potentially deadly flooding spread across much of the state from the Massachusetts state line north to the Canadian border, Vermont State Police said.

NEWRY, Maine— An hour before dawn, Ian McCluskey adjusts his goggles and plunges the sleeve of his jacket into a spray of ice crystals arcing out of a nearby fan-shaped snow-making machine. Mr. McCluskey is testing the quality of machine-made snow—as the spray settles on his sleeve “you can tell whether you are getting wetter snowball snow, or something that is very dry and good for resurfacing a trail,” shouts Mr. McCluskey, a 28-year-old snow-making supervisor at Sunday River Resort in western Maine. On this night, the machine-made snow is clumpy and won’t spread evenly. The air is too warm and humid to run this brand-new automated snow-making machine, or snow gun, for more than a few minutes.
