NEW YORK: More than 40 million people were under blizzard warnings in the northeast United States on Monday, as a winter storm dumped shin-deep snow and officials in New York enforced a citywide travel ban.
The so-called “Nor’easter” pummeled the region overnight, disrupting flights and leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani ordered nonessential drivers off the road until midday Monday and shut down schools. Authorities in neighboring New Jersey and Rhode Island issued similar travel restrictions.
Some were frustrated by the region’s second major winter storm in weeks.
“I’m sick of it. I don’t want to see no more snow,” Vincent Greer, a resident of Wildwood, New Jersey, said as he shoveled outside his building.
