Massive blizzard paralyzes New York and Washington, 19 dead-Reuters By Barbara Goldberg and Idrees Ali-JAN 24,16-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Millions of residents, business owners and workers began digging out on Sunday from a massive blizzard that brought Washington, New York and other northeastern U.S. cities to a standstill, killing at least 19 people in several states.The storm was the second-biggest in New York City history, with 26.8 inches (68 cm) by midnight Saturday, just shy of the record 26.9 inches set in 2006, the National Weather Service said.Thirteen people were killed in weather-related car crashes in Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia on Saturday. One person died in Maryland and three in New York City while shoveling snow. Two died of hypothermia in Virginia, officials said.On the New Jersey shore, a region hard-hit in 2012 by Superstorm Sandy, the storm drove flooding high tides.After dumping about two feet of snow on the Washington area, the storm unexpectedly strengthened as it spun northward and slammed into the New York metropolitan area on Saturday, home to about 20 million people.Winds gusting to more than 40 mph (64 kph) sculpted drifts many feet high, burying cars.New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency, as did 10 other governors. A ban imposed on all travel on New York City area roads and on Long Island, except for emergency vehicles, was set to end at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Bridges and tunnels into the city were also set to reopen.Subways running above ground and trains operated by the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North halted service on Saturday and were to be evaluated for service restoration at 6 a.m.By early Sunday the storm had all but moved off the coastline, with remnants trailing over parts of Long Island and Cape Cod. Much of the northeast was expected to see a mix of sun and clouds on Sunday with temperatures just above freezing.-SHOWS, FLIGHTS CANCELED-Given the massive storm's impact, it was too soon to tell how much Wall Street's reopening on Monday would be affected.Broadway theaters canceled Saturday matinee and evening performances at the urging of the mayor, and a Bruce Springsteen concert set for Sunday was called off.As an otherworldly quiet descended on the usually bustling city of 8.5 million, the nation's most populous, tourists and residents took to city streets, venturing into the expanses of parks, some on skis. Others built snowmen and had snowball fights.Authorities in New York and New Jersey halted public transportation and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority took the rare step of suspending operations through Sunday.About 3,500 flights were canceled on Sunday, with more than 600 already canceled for Monday, said FlightAware.com, the aviation data and tracking website.United Airlines said it would not operate at Washington-area airports on Sunday, and would gradually resume service on Monday. The airline plans to start "very limited operations" on Sunday afternoon at its Newark, New Jersey, hub.The brunt of the blizzard reached the New York City area after battering Washington, where snow piled up outside the White House and famous monuments were frosted with snow.The record high of 28 inches of snow in Washington was set in 1922 and the biggest recent snowfall was 17.8 inches in 2010.--MORE HIGH TIDES EXPECTED-High winds battered the entire East Coast, from North Carolina to New York, reaching 70 mph in Wallops Island, Virginia, late on Friday, whipping up the tides and causing coastal flooding, said National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Gallina.The snow also engulfed the Mid-Atlantic cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia while about 150,000 customers in North Carolina and 90,000 homes in New Jersey lost electricity. Accumulations in parts of Virginia and West Virginia reached 40 inches.Tides higher than those caused by Superstorm Sandy three years ago pushed water onto roads along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coast and set records in Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes, Delaware, said NWS meteorologist Patrick O'Hara.Some evacuations were reported along the New Jersey shore. Wildwood, a town of more than 5,000 people about 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Atlantic City on a barrier island, saw some of the worst flooding.Emergency workers in inflatable boats rescued more than 100 people from homes, said Wildwood Fire Chief Christopher D’Amico.Water levels reached chest-height in parts of Wildwood and refrigerators and soda machines floated down the main street.Further north, barrier islands near Atlantic City were also experiencing significant tidal flooding, said Linda Gilmore, the county's public information officer.The high tides were set to return on Sunday morning.The storm developed along the Gulf Coast, dropping snow over Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky on Friday. On the coast, warm, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean collided with cold air to form the massive winter system, meteorologists said.(Reporting by Barbara Goldberg, Frank McGurty, and Robert MacMillan in New York, Mary Wisniewski in Chicago; additional reporting by Daniel Kelley in Philadelphia and Victoria Cavaliere and Alex Dobuzinskis in Los Angeles; Writing by Mary Milliken and Grant McCool; Editing by Sandra Maler, Muralikumar Anantharaman and Chris Michaud; Editing by Chris Michaud and Andrew Heavens)

Traffic-free Manhattan transformed into winter playground-[Reuters]-By Robert MacMillan-January 24, 2016-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An otherworldly quiet descended over the streets of Manhattan on Saturday as a muffling blanket of snow and a complete ban on private vehicles transformed a city renowned for its bustle and horn-blaring traffic into a tranquil pedestrian mall.As a blizzard that seemed destined for the record books intensified, officials closed all bridges and tunnels into New York and banned all but emergency vehicles from its roads. Soon the city emptied of traffic except for a few straggling taxis and a trickle of drivers who defied the order.The void was quickly filled as tourists bundled against the driving snow and wandered through intersections, taking selfies on their smartphones, making snow angels in the snow drifts of Times Square and huddling in coffee shops to warm themselves."I'm never leaving," a little girl playing in a snowbank in Times Square exclaimed.Residents took to the streets as well, many of them venturing into the white expanses of Central Park to build snowmen or indulge in good-natured snowball fights.Except for the chatter of the merry-makers, the primary sounds of the streets were snow shovels striking pavement, the occasional police car siren and the hum of snow blowers.A young man, wearing pants, shoes and nothing else, got cheers from the crowd in Times Square as he rode a bicycle down Seventh Avenue, holding a selfie stick to record his ride.Saeed Naseer, a 51-year-old taxi driver who hails from Yemen, was one of the few people still behind the wheel."I heard the news,” he said, when asked if he knew that cars were forbidden from driving. “I’m coming from Brooklyn. I’m on my way home.”The insistent snow and wind obscured much of the winter light, turning the streets an eerie blue as the sun set.As Naseer drove down the street, he was forced to make way for Ahmed Mahrous, 58, whose halal food pushcart was stuck in the middle of the road, mired in snow.“I take the cart back again to its garage,” said Mahrous, who comes from Egypt. With the help of a colleague and a reporter, he eventually was able to put it back.At the nearby Port Authority bus terminal, stranded passengers and homeless people huddled in the complex’s south wing, either dozing or waiting for buses that probably were canceled. One man smoked a joint as he watched the snow twirl in the wind outside, while a clutch of men sipped from bottles wrapped in paper bags.At Penn Station, the Amtrak departure board displayed 11 “canceled” notices for Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains. One of the few listed as “on time” was going to Washington - the capital that was also paralyzed by the blizzard.“That’s why we chose to the train instead of flying,” said Tiffany Mangal, 29. She and her husband Jed Mangal, 29, both physicians, were in New York to attend a funeral that was eventually postponed because of the snow, they said.Nancy Brincat and her husband Vinnie encountered a similar problem. They came to Manhattan from the borough of Queens to see the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” but it was canceled.When they walked to Penn Station from the theater district, they found that the Long Island Rail Road had canceled all but one of its trains. They said they would try their luck on the subway system.“We had a bad day,” said Nancy Brincat, who celebrates her 61st birthday on Sunday.Out on Seventh Avenue, a normally busy street, a reporter was able to walk the half mile north to Times Square from Penn Station without once having to move to the sidewalk.Michael Paul Alexander, 50, a homeless man in the station, said he plans to walk around and look for a job shoveling snow.“I love the snow because I’m a native New Yorker,” he said.(Additional reporting by Conway Gittens in New York; editing by Frank McGurty and Grant McCool)

U.S. East Coast blizzard brings New York, Washington to standstill-Reuters By Barbara Goldberg and Idrees Ali-JAN 23,16-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A blizzard that has paralyzed much of the U.S. East Coast intensified on Saturday, bringing the nation's capital to a standstill and forcing the closure of roads, bridges and tunnels into New York, the largest city in the country.At least 13 people have been killed in weather-related car crashes in Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. One person died in Maryland and three in New York while shoveling snow.After dumping nearly two feet (60 cm) of snow on the Washington area overnight, the storm unexpectedly gathered strength as it spun northward and headed into the New York metropolitan area, home to about 20 million people.With the storm persisting through the night, accumulations of between 24 and 28 inches (60 to 71 cm) of snow are expected in New York City, northern New Jersey and western Long Island, with winds gusting to 45 mph (72 kph), the National Weather Service said. Visibility is expected to be one-quarter of a mile or less.Mayor Bill de Blasio said that the accumulation could be two feet or more "when all is said and done, making it in the top five of storms to hit New York City."New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency as 10 other state governors have done. He also announced a ban on all travel on New York City area roads and on Long Island, except for emergency vehicles, as of 2:30 p.m. EST (1930 GMT). All bridges and tunnels into the city from New Jersey were also closed and would be until the early hours of Sunday, de Blasio said.Subways running above ground and trains operated by the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North halted service at 4 p.m. EST because snow falling at a rate of 3 inches (8 cm) per hour proved too much for plows on roads and railways, Cuomo said.The impact of the travel ban on the New York's financial services industry is seen as minimal over the weekend, and it was too soon to tell how much the heavy snow will affect Wall Street's reopening on Monday.On Broadway, however, the impact was immediate. Theaters canceled Saturday matinee and evening performances at the urging of the mayor."We're loving it. We definitely want to come back," said Michelle Jones, 46, a mortgage company controller from Atlanta who had tickets to see "The Phantom of Opera" with her daughter.While authorities in New York and New Jersey halted public transportation, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority took the rare step of suspending operations through Sunday in the capital city."The forecasts suggest that the snow will wrap up late tonight or in the very early hours of the morning," Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference. "But it doesn't make it any less dangerous. We expect continued high winds throughout the area which will continue to make the conditions and visibility very poor."More than 10,200 U.S. flights were canceled from Friday through Monday, according to transportation officials the aviation data and tracking website FlightAware.com.United Airlines said on Saturday that it would not operate at Washington-area airports Saturday and Sunday, and would gradually resume service on Monday. The airline plans to start "very limited operations" on Sunday afternoon at its Newark, New Jersey, hub and other New York area airports.The brunt of the blizzard reached the New York City area after battering Washington, where snow had piled up outside the White House and across the U.S. capital.Some residents said they just could not resist seeing famous monuments frosted with snow."We haven't made snow angels yet, but we're looking forward to doing that in front of the White House," said Robert Bella Hernandez, 38. "We're just going to walk around, see some snow covered D.C. landmarks. And then when it's unsafe, maybe go back in for a minute."The record high of 28 inches of snow in Washington was set in 1922 and the deepest recent snowfall was 17.8 inches in 2010.-HIGHER TIDES THAN DURING SANDY-High winds battered the entire East Coast, from North Carolina to New York, reaching 70 mph in Wallops Island, Virginia, late on Friday, whipping up the tides and causing coastal flooding, said meteorologist Greg Gallina of the National Weather Service.Tides higher than those caused by Superstorm Sandy three years ago pushed water on to roads along the Jersey Shore and Delaware coast and set records in Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes, Delaware, said NWS meteorologist Patrick O’Hara.A high tide of 8.98 feet (2.74 m) was recorded at 7:51 a.m. EST on Saturday at Cape May - slightly higher than the record of 8.9 feet previously set by Sandy on Oct. 29, 2012. A high tide of 9.27 feet was recorded at Lewes, higher than the 9.2 feet high tide recorded in March 1962.Even so, there were only a few evacuations reported along the New Jersey Shore, where thousands of residents had to abandon their homes during the devastating 2012 storm.The barrier islands near Atlantic City were experiencing significant tidal flooding, said Linda Gilmore, the county's public information officer.Officials in the coastal counties of Ocean and Monmouth issued voluntary evacuation notices for some communities and a mandatory order for some homes in the beach town of Barnegat.The next high tide, due at about 7 p.m. EST, is expected to be higher than usual because of the full moon.About 150,000 customers in North Carolina and 90,000 homes in New Jersey lost electricity in the storm on Saturday.The Pennsylvania National Guard has been called in to help clear I-76 in the western part of the state and ensure stranded people have food, water, and fuel for their cars.The storm developed along the Gulf Coast, dropping snow over Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky on Friday. On the coast, warm, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean collided with cold air to form the massive winter system, meteorologists said.It was forecast to move offshore in southern New England early next week.(Reporting by Victoria Cavaliere in Los Angeles, Barbara Goldberg, Frank McGurty, and Robert MacMillan in New York, Mary Wisniewski in Chicago; Writing by Grant McCool; editing by Marguerita Choy and G Crosse)

New York City bridges and tunnels to close due to snow-Reuters-JAN 23,16-YAHOONEWS

NEW YORK (Reuters) - All bridges and tunnels into New York City operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will close on Saturday afternoon because of blizzard conditions in the metropolitan area, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said.With forecasts of up to 30 inches (76.2 cm) of snow, New York will also enforce a travel ban on all roads in the southern part of the state and Long Island, beginning at 2:30 p.m. (1930 GMT), the governor said at a press conference.He also announced a halt on all "exterior routes" of the New York City subway system, as well as the Long Island and Metro-North rail systems.(Reporting By Frank McGurty; Editing by Marguerita Choy)
