MISSED: Much Hyped Blizzard Misses NYC

Steady snowfall has been covering New York City since Monday morning and by Tuesday total accumulated snowfall reach just 6 inches – far below the predicted 24 to 36 inches. Snow is expected to continue falling throughout the day and total accumulations can reach 12 inches.

Governor Andrew Cuomo lifted travel bans on state roadways as of 7:30am, yet still discouraged non-essential travel. “While the roads are open… if you don’t have to travel today, you really don’t want to be traveling today.” Subways are expected to resume operations at 9:00am and the city will resume regular weekday scheduled on Wednesday.

Though the storm missed NYC, the storm slammed eastern Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

The National Weather downgraded blizzard warnings to winter storm warnings for the five boroughs on Tuesday morning. Suffolk County remains under a blizzard watch.

    New York Mayor Bill De Blasio is secretly having truckloads of snow shipped in from Boston and dumped in the streets.

    What a bunch of whimps in New York! I wonder what they would do if they lived in regions that received a real snow fall; i. e. places in Utah get up to three hundred inches of snow during the winter or if they had a real blizzard like that one in 1978 in the Boston region and so forth!!!
