With heavy snow falling up to one foot already in some nearby areas with more to come, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a State of Emergency for the Metropolitan New York City area. The MTA will halt all bus and outside elevated subway service at NOON today due to the Blizzard. Service will be restored after the storm ends, and it is safe to have the buses and outside elevated subway lines resume service. Below ground subway service will not be interrupted.
People are asked not to be out or drive so that the roadways can be cleared. Additional help to clear the snow has been sent to the New York City area by Governor Cuomo from upstate regions. There are scattered blackouts on Long Island, Westchester County, and parts of New York City where power lines are above ground. Winds of up to 45 M.P.H. have been recorded, and are expected to continue or increase as the blizzard continues.
