As we know from the movie Spider-Man, there the subway often goes above the ground, and because of snowdrifts many branches of the movement stopped. The movement of vehicles on the streets stopped, too - in New York, winter tires do not use, because it is three degrees south of the city of Sochi, for example. We can not say that snow is a rarity for the local - yet it is usually in the winter there is. But usually in small amounts. Not like yesterday.



Because urban services are not well able to remove the snow - well, like in St. Petersburg.



So. Sooner or later, it will remove all the snow, or it will melt - the temperature above zero something. But while many of the streets have become pedestrian. Machines do not ride the subway does not go, do not ride trains, planes do not fly. Wires were cut off by the snow stuck to 8000 homes in New York are disabled. Millions of people do not come to work!



In one subway train people sat 11:00 underground. All three airports - Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark - closed at all Sunday and Monday. Lifted by 10 thousand flights.

Closed all airports. A week passed two more storms, adding another foot of snow to the unmelted earlier. In New York, the roof collapsed two supermarkets and a church. A total of Blizzard-96 claimed the lives of more than 100 people

But back in New York, where residents continue to hammer on the job, using the bad weather, which in Yakutia would be considered for a good day for a football match.
In life there is always a place of love:
