Gov. Cuomo issues travel ban as killer blizzard wallops New York; storm could be one of five worst
NY Daily News ^ | 1/23/16 | Meg Wagner

Gov. Cuomo issued a travel ban Saturday, shutting down roads and some train service as a killer blizzard bears down on New York City.

New York City and state roads will close to all traffic except emergency responders at 2:30 p.m. Metro-North and Long Island Railroad service will stop at 4:00 p.m., the governor said.

MTA will also shutter service for exterior subway routes at 4 p.m., Cuomo said.

The massive blizzard will go down as one of the five worst in city history, Mayor de Blasio said Saturday. The storm - which killed at least nine people as it traveled up the East Coast Friday - will likely dump between 20 and 25 inches of snow on the city Saturday, the mayor said.

When does the looting start?

My guess is a good number of Amish will be out in Charm City and Gotham "liberating" local stores of their wares as soon as the snow is too deep for police cruisers to move.

Who is this douche who thinks he can issue a ban on travel??? If I want to go somewhere, I'll go. And I challenge him to show any legal right to restrict my right to do so.

The presumption of these tin-horn dictators!

A couple of weeks ago the eco-nuts were saying all that warm weather on the east coast was caused by AGW/Climate Change. Now they are say this cold and snow was caused by it, too!

I saw the Weather Channel Princess get mad during a live shot in NYC this AM when a kid got in her TV shot of a frikkin yardstick about 50 ft away from her (in a public place). Don’t interfere with the DRAMA!!

We went through exactly this three weeks of snowy hell in the winter of 1970-1980. The jet stream changed course and plunged down into the Midwest. The Polar Express brought down lots of supercooled air from the pole that collided with warm, moisture laden air from the south combined with winds blowing from SSW. We endured snow storm after storm for three weeks straight. The snows came so frequently the plows couldn't handle it. We ran out of places to put it. Daytime air temperatures were -25 degrees F every day for 21 days; nighttime temperatures were -40 degrees F.

I'm a survivor.

Yeah, it sucks here in the mountains of WV when your plow is broken and the tractor won’t start.

I’m on plan C which involves a string of hay bales loaded with kerosene down the driveway. I’m one match away from plowing this driveway with energy.

NYPD: 'We Will Arrest You' If On the Road

Martial law has been declared in New York City. This comes in response to this year's biggest snow storm.
