New York – The onset of winter paralyzed the city of New York and parts of the northeastern United States.

In view of the predicted snowfall of up to half a meter, the state of emergency imposed by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio came into force on Monday morning (local time), which, among other things, restricts all movements and car trips in the city. The heavy rainfall and strong winds are expected to continue for at least the whole of Monday.

Clearance services and technicians are on constant duty to maintain emergency operations and prevent the fragile power grid from collapsing. The corona vaccinations were initially stopped, schools have also closed, and eating on heated terraces in front of restaurants, which is popular because of the pandemic, is prohibited.
