Snow and powerful winds swept into the Northeast on Monday as a storm predicted to grow into a major blizzard prompted mass transit shutdowns, highway closures, thousands of airline flight cancellations and a ban on driving in New York City and on major roads across the region.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the closure of New York City’s subway and bus system as of 11 p.m. Monday, the first such closure since Superstorm Sandy hit the region in the fall of 2012.

With the closure of all mass transit, and the citywide driving ban as of 11 p.m., Cuomo’s declaration meant the nation’s largest city would be brought to a complete standstill except for people willing to venture out into the blowing snow.

Cuomo’s announcement came amid concerns that winds associated with the storm would gust as high as 70 mph.

This may have been a fizzle in NYC.

The unhinged commie mayor of New York is very distressed at the reality. He was in such a tizzy hoping to impose martial law and suspend the Constitution. Along with his inept handling of the recent police murders by his fellow commie traveler, chalk up another MASSIVE FAIL and total humiliation by Billy Boy de Blasio.
