Gov. Cuomo issues travel ban as killer blizzard wallops New York; storm could be one of five worst
NY Daily News ^ | 1/23/16 | Meg Wagner

Gov. Cuomo issued a travel ban Saturday, shutting down roads and some train service as a killer blizzard bears down on New York City.

New York City and state roads will close to all traffic except emergency responders at 2:30 p.m. Metro-North and Long Island Railroad service will stop at 4:00 p.m., the governor said.

MTA will also shutter service for exterior subway routes at 4 p.m., Cuomo said.

The massive blizzard will go down as one of the five worst in city history, Mayor de Blasio said Saturday. The storm - which killed at least nine people as it traveled up the East Coast Friday - will likely dump between 20 and 25 inches of snow on the city Saturday, the mayor said.

I suspect this is because of the number of people impacted; there is a large part of our population impacted by this.

This is hardly earth-shattering, but it is not a run-of-the-mill storm. Here in north Jersey we are getting much more than was forecast.

What is it about snow storms, especially ones like this winter storm, that brings out all the Media idiots? They go out, stand in the blizzard and howling wind to tell us it's cold and snowing! Well, duh.

Then they go all panicky about how their viewers should take care of themselves and blah, blah, blah. It is not like the majority haven't been through winter before. It's cold and it snows during winter. Sometimes there's a major storm or two. Gee, don't get your undies in a wad Media people.

Now THIS was a blizzard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7eXnIqUV4

I remember it clearly living in Western NY as a senior in High School with a part time job that I walked to.

I had to shut Government CUUMO off because he kept running at the mouth; obviously has it bad for the sound of his own voice.

And On that blurb, notice 2nd worst prez Carter saying “crisis” over and over and over again.

Sure; but this might hit the record for NYC snowfall. It is a bit unusual. Here in NJ most businesses are closed (also unusual).

In the NYC area I’m sure there are a lot of people who have never seen snow before (due to our open border); this was illustrated in DeBlasio’s election, when his opponent tried to scare voters with stories of the Dinkins administration. It failed completely because more than half of NYers weren’t even here during that prior disaster.

This was not a routine snow storm; it was heavier, and a lot of mass transit (as well as Hudson River crossings) was shut down. It stopped snowing around midnight, and I wouldn’t be shocked if schools are closed tomorrow.

Nothing like having 30 fireman going in and out of your hose for 4 hours, I don’t know what caused more damage, the fire or the fix. I was not at Vicenza but I know some Buds from the 173rd Abn. that were, Said it was a great post one of the best to be stationed at.

I “lived” in WDC for 30 years. They’d close schools, govt offices and businesses if there was a snow cloud sighted in Wyoming.

..... Sorry about your fire. Used to be a product you could toss in the wood stove or fireplace that would extinguish a chimney fire. Like a manufactured log ya threw in and it killed the fire or smothered / starved it of air.....

can’t remember the name of the ones we used to have but found these so you can see the concept. May have to snag a few for myself just in case.

Well, it looks like they got walloped with this. Here in NJ (NYC metro area) parents oppose closing the schools (since it doubles as daycare); NYC in particular rarely closes. In the ghetto areas the kids just don’t come anyway; the mothers (I won’t dignify this statement with “parents”) pass up the free breakfasts & lunches because “it cold”.

He’s going to need a lot more than Spanish; just across the Hudson from them the county north of me in NJ just added Korean to their ballots and other government business. I saw a news story about the number of languages spoken by NYC school kids, and it was incredible (dozens and dozens); it is a sanctuary city because without those imported children there would be no education industry in NYC (and much of NJ as well).

Western snow is powdery stuff. The snow out here in the east is heavier and wetter stuff.

While I agree that an Eastern event gets excessive coverage, the snow in the Middle Atlantic states has a special quality to it. It is like heavy cement and most often there is a 1/2 inch layer of ice underneath. Power line are downed. Traffic lights don't work. Fender benders are everywhere due to the ice. Ice jams clog the streams flooding streets and roads. And...The heavy ice and snow breaks branches and fells trees that block the roads. Fire trucks and ambulances can not reach those in need.

Even one inch of this mess **is** a major event.
