What Happened
A significant winter storm, referred to as a “tempete neige new york,” has impacted New York City and New Jersey, leading to travel bans and the cancellation of thousands of flights. Broadway shows were also canceled on Sunday evening as blizzard warnings were issued from Maryland to Massachusetts.
Why It Matters
The storm has already resulted in nearly 38 centimeters of snow accumulation and strong winds, prompting school closures and a mandate for non-essential vehicles to remain off the streets. Unlike other regions, New Yorkers are responsible for clearing their residential sidewalks within four hours after the storm ends, or they risk facing fines.
What’s Next
The winter storm is expected to continue its path northeast, potentially affecting parts of Quebec later on Monday evening. While New York faces severe conditions, the impact in Quebec is anticipated to be less significant, with only 10 to 15 centimeters of snow expected in some areas.
