As snowfall paralyzed New York. A PHOTO. VIDEO

All three states were paralyzed due to the first heavy snowfall. This was reported in the Office of air and sea ports of New York and New Jersey.

The first snowstorm of the season brought heavy, sleet, which in some places completely paralyzed traffic in the city.

Due to bad weather, the bus schedule got out of touch, which, in turn, caused a huge congestion of passengers in the bus terminal, which had to be closed.

Police advised people to stay indoors and avoid roads if possible, but the warning came too late.

Penn Station in Newark has become a nightmare for many stranded passengers.

Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit also encountered systemic delays.

Bad weather provoked a rise in prices for a taxi. The cost of a trip to a distance of 2,6 km on Uber before the snowfall was 18 dollars, and during the snowfall - 48.

Weather conditions caused a major accident at the George Washington Bridge. After that, the already tired of traffic jams drivers left their cars and went on foot.

According to a spokeswoman for Vito Thurso, from noon around 700 salt spreaders worked throughout the city, but the snowfall turned out to be much harder than all meteorologists had predicted.

“What made it difficult was that several bridges were closed and traffic, especially in the Bronx, Upper Manhattan and Staten Island, came to a standstill and our snow removal equipment got stuck inside,” Thurso said.

At Kennedy Airport, flights were delayed up to four hours. The situation at the airports of Newark and LaGuardia was not the best.

Children returning from school were also held hostage on school buses. Counselors warned parents about massive closures and traffic jams.
