A killer snowstorm that battered the South and the nation’s capital brought greater New York City to a standstill on Saturday, packing gale-force winds, heavy snow and coastal flooding as it churned up the East Coast.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he was closing all New York City and Long Island roads at 2:30 p.m., and the above-ground sections of the subway and regional trains at 4 p.m. City buses closed down at noon.
The snow was coming down on the Big Apple at a rate of up to 3 inches per hour. Meteorologists updated their forecast overnight for New York to get up to 24 inches of snow, a jump from initially modest predictions.
