A blizzard warning is in effect for the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and central, southern New Jersey.
The warning is in effect for New York City until Thursday morning.
What the blizzard warning means is there will be winds in excess of 35 to 40 mph. Snow may fall at 1 inch an hour.
New York City got ahead of the storm — announcing a number of closings and changes on Tuesday.
All city schools are closed today — and all city courts are closed except for emergency applications.
Alternate side of the street parking is suspended, but meter rules remain in effect.
The Sanitation Department has 365 salt spreaders, 1,600 plows and over 100,000 tons of salt taking on the blanket of white.
Service on some subway lines are local to handle more passengers, since bus lines are slowed by the snow. Bloomberg urged people to use mass transportation if they must travel.
it’s so pretty…
other places like MONTREAL and CHICAGO at least have the equipment to deal with it – here in NY, the roads don’t get cleaned so fast, and the sidewalks are up to the ppl living there to clear it up, so yes, it’s much more of a mess, hence hard to get out and ‘walk’ in it, hence…. the school closures (for obvious safety reasons)
yes, very true!! toronto ended up better this year than NY. its almost spring and we hardly had big snowfall.
We had 13 inches, an earthquake about 30 miles away and every one has school, work, etc. You guys are lame in NY
in montreal we have this much snow everyday no actually if we are lucky u guys a re freakin out for no reason. we only close e/th wen the snow is up to our hips which already happened but my skewl sux so skewl wasnt closed and we all came.!
travel 2 hours south and you’ll see a lot more snow than that…
here, the whole city is shut down, but at least there’s a reason for it.
Enjoy!
