New York City Paralyzed by Heavy Snowstorm

A powerful winter storm has hit New York City and the wider northeastern United States, causing travel chaos and significant disruptions to air transportation. Central Park in New York City recorded 11 centimeters of snow, the highest amount since January 2022, while other areas received up to 19 centimeters. The Governor of New York declared a state of emergency in more than half of the state's counties, and similar measures were taken in New Jersey. Over 1,500 flights have been canceled or delayed at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty airports, with a total of over 9,000 delays and cancellations across the northeastern region. This has left many travelers stranded during the holiday season. Authorities are warning of slippery roads and the danger of 'black ice' due to falling temperatures. The severe weather has also affected areas of northern Connecticut, with local snowfall exceeding 23 centimeters in some places. Authorities are urging residents to limit their travel and be prepared for difficult road conditions, given the increased traffic volume due to the holidays. The storm has subsided, but the consequences remain, with a focus on ensuring travel safety and restoring normalcy to air transportation. Attention remains high to address potential problems that may arise from melting snow and ice formation.
