New York is covered in snow, severe storms and hundreds of canceled flights

For at least three years New York had not been literally buried under the snow: in the Big Apple storms have been raging for days and hundreds of flights have been cancelled, making it impossible or at least very dangerous to take off and land at the city’s airports.

Good morning from a snow-covered New York City – New York Mayor Eri Adams writes on It will still be cold outside and the ground will be slippery. Please be careful when walking or driving today. Our teams will continue to be there to keep New Yorkers safe and informed

As reported FlightAwaremost of the canceled flights in the USA are concentrated in the airports of the New York metropolitan area (last Friday there were already 122 to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport, 61 to and from Newark International Airport), and in general there are already over 1700 planes that neither departed nor landed in the North-East of the USA.

New York will be hit by its strongest snowstorm in recent years: in some areas of the Big Apple, up to 28 cm of snow is expected, according to meteorologists and officials – wrote the New York Post yesterday December 26 – More than half of the Empire State was declared in a state of emergency when the snow began to fall just before 5pm on Friday

However, for now, the emergency seems to have ended: no other massive storms are expected, but, as reported by the National Weather Servicesome lighter snowfall is still likely.

The monitoring system, however, is still on alert.
