Last night (Dec 26), New York City got hit by a major snowstorm, shutting down travel across the U.S. FlightAware reports that over 1,700 flights were cancelled, with nearly half at LaGuardia, JFK and Newark 🛫❄️. Some areas saw more than 25 cm of snow piling up in the heaviest bands, according to the National Weather Service.
Today (Dec 27), temperatures remain below freezing, so roads are slimy and risky. NYC authorities issued a travel warning 🚨—slick streets and slower public transport are the new normal until the snow melts.
Forecasters say flurries could continue into the weekend, but the worst has passed. If you need to travel soon, double-check your flight status, dress in layers, and give yourself extra time to get around 🧣⏰.
