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.

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.
