- Northeast U.S. braces as New York faces its fiercest snowstorm in three years
New York and the broader northeastern United States are on high alert as a powerful snowstorm approaches its peak, described by meteorologists as the fiercest in three years.
The rapidly worsening weather has prompted local authorities in New York and New Jersey to declare states of emergency, aiming to mitigate risks from massive snow accumulations that are already disrupting daily life across the affected areas.
Air travel has been heavily impacted, with hundreds of flights canceled at major airports, while highways have become treacherous icy routes.
Field reports indicate that some areas are already experiencing power outages, caused by heavy snow weighing down power lines combined with strong winds. This has complicated the work of emergency and repair crews operating around the clock.
U.S. media coverage has echoed official warnings, urging residents to exercise extreme caution, particularly as visibility drops and sidewalks become icy hazards.
Residents are closely monitoring the storm’s progress, while snow-clearing crews race against time to keep vital roads open. Authorities warn that daily life could come to a near halt in the coming hours, putting New York to a serious test of resilience against harsh winter conditions.
