Via Fox 5 NY:
Gov. Cuomo banned all travel in New York City because of a massive snowstorm that could dump 30″ of snow on the city.
Cuomo announced a ban on roads in all of lower New York State. Port Authority bridges and tunnels into New York City were also closing. The travel ban was to start at 2:30 p.m.
He said the shutdown would be orderly so that people could get home from work. The ban included Long Island highways.
The governor warned that if you are caught on the road during a ban you could face a large fine. He did not specify what that fine would total.
The ban was to remain in effect “until further notice”, according to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “People of New York City have been given warning.”
“We will arrest them if needed,” De Blasio said about any drivers still on the road during the ban.
MTA bus service was canceled at noon. Above ground train service was also shutting down at 4 p.m. in New York City. The shutdown included Long Island Railroad and Metro-North trains. The MTA said subways lines that only operate underground were expected to remain in service.
