Blizzard of 2015: Hundreds of Flights Canceled, 20 to 30 Inches Expected





http://bit.ly/1zfNXza A potentially historic blizzard that could bring three feet of snow is barreling toward the city and has officials already warning that streets and subways could be shut down before the Monday evening rush. The National Weather Service predicts blizzard-like conditions to whip up winds as high as 65 mph and drop as much as 20 to 30 inches of snow. "We are facing, most likely, one of the largest snowstorms in the history of this city," Mayor de Blasio told reporters Sunday. Gov. Cuomo echoed those concerns in a statement Sunday that warned commuters they should consider staying home in advance of the Nor’Easter. “As a result, roads including the Thruway, I-84 and the Long Island Expressway, and public transit networks including the LIRR, PATH, Metro North Railroad, and MTA subways and buses may be closed ahead of the evening commute,” Cuomo announced Sunday night. http://nydn.us/1ykOFYC
