New York Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Nor'easter Snowstorm
A day after the new NYC mayor was sworn in, it looks like he will be busy digging his brand new city from under "blizzardlike" conditions including 5-6 inches of snow, which it seems are enough for New York governor Andrew Cuomo to declare...
Statewide state of emergency declared --> stay off the roads if you can #blizzard #StormWatch #NYS
— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) January 2, 2014
The road closures are already known:
At midnight tonight the #LIE, 87-S and I-84 will be closed until 5AM #blizzard #winterstorm
— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) January 2, 2014
Finally, some details on what to expect:
Authorities are prepping hundreds of plows and tons of salt, shutting down highways and making contingency plans for mass transportation as a powerful nor'easter that is expected to dump up to 10 inches of snow on parts of the tri-state area and bring caustic 25-mph winds bears down on the East Coast.
A blizzard warning is in effect for Long Island, and winter storm warnings are in effect for most of the tri-state through Friday morning and hundreds of flights at the region's three primary airports were canceled by mid-afternoon Thursday. A winter storm watch is in effect for central New Jersey and points south.
Flurries began falling late Wednesday into Thursday, leaving a light dusting of snow on roads and walkways for the first commute of the new year. Forecasters say snowfall will become heavier and steadier Thursday evening into Friday, accompanied by plunging temperatures and whipping winds that will make it feel like 10 degrees below zero in some spots overnight.
Gov. Cuomo has already announced the Long Island Expressway will be shut down at midnight within Nassau and Suffolk. The Queens section of the L.I.E. will remain open. Route 87 south of Albany will also be closed, and all of Route 84 will be shut down.
The roads will be reopened at 5 a.m., if conditions allow.
In New York City, 6 to 8 inches of fluffy snow are expected by Friday morning, and 8 to 10 inches of snow are possible north and west of the city and Long Island. Three to 6 inches are expected to fall in central and southern New Jersey.
The snowfall will combine with winds gusting up to 35 miles per hour to create possible white-out conditions, severely hampering visibility late Thursday into Friday, particularly in areas expected to see more accumulation. Drivers are urged to stay off the roads after Thursday afternoon.
The winds will cause the snow to drift onto roads, and the frigid temperatures will prevent any melting, which could make for dangerously slick roads for Friday's morning commute.
Mass transit is a "prudent option, given that highways may be closed," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

I am definitely firing up the ATV and driving around the 'South 40' tomorrow! Fuck the markets.
Let's see if DeBlaaaaahsio can deliver the 50 billion taxpayer fiat dollars for New York City (i.e. The Chosen Land) given Snowpocalypse , as Bloomturd did when Sandy (i.e. The Storm of The Century) hit.
Here in Texas it is currently a "wintery" 50 degrees, the sun is shining, there is no state income tax, and I can carry a concealed firearm.
Better start sending the SWAT teams door to door to make sure everyone has enough blankets and hot chocolate
Make sure Mossad is there, again, to dance on the roof-tops while they document the storm with video cameras.
No need to do that now. NYPD has been trained by Mossad. NYPD has a branch in Israel now
The extreme militarization of American police forces has been brought to public attention by the tactics employed against Occupy protesters, which often appear more appropriate to counter-terrorism operations than to the control of non-violent protest. According to investigative journalist Max Blumenthal, however, the proper term for this ruthless suppression of dissent should be “Israelification.”
In an article which begins with examples of American police training alongside Israeli security forces, Blumenthal writes, “Having been schooled in Israeli tactics perfected during a 63 year experience of controlling, dispossessing, and occupying an indigenous population, local police forces have adapted them to monitor Muslim and immigrant neighborhoods in US cities. Meanwhile, former Israeli military officers have been hired to spearhead security operations at American airports and suburban shopping malls, leading to a wave of disturbing incidents of racial profiling, intimidation, and FBI interrogations of innocent, unsuspecting people. The New York Police Department’s disclosure that it deployed ‘counter-terror’ measures against Occupy protesters encamped in downtown Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park is just the latest example of the so-called War on Terror creeping into every day life. Revelations like these have raised serious questions about the extent to which Israeli-inspired tactics are being used to suppress the Occupy movement.”

Back in the day we would just put snow tires on the car, or maybe chains for a duzi here and there and just drive thru it. Todays all weather tires are about as useful as today's economic recovery.
Snow makes people work harder. True story.
Easy fix:
Call it Global Snowing and tax the storm.
I escaped NY/CT this summer. Thank God. When CT went full retard on gun laws we left. Neighbor teaches concealed carry here in rural Ohio. Weekends you can hear the sound of rifles. Fuck that place.
Shelter in place and don't forget your snow scissors.
NYPD will be by to relieve you of your real scissors in case you become desperate.
We have over a metre of snow and I just got a new 45 from santa's claws.
As part of the emergency measures, Gov Cuomo has issued executive orders to limit the number of bullets allowed in a magazine to three.
"Here in Texas it is currently a "wintery" 50 degrees, the sun is shining, there is no state income tax, and I can carry a concealed firearm."
Here in NJ it is currently a "wintery" 23 degrees heading for zero tomorrow night, the sun is nowhere to be seen all day, there is a significant state income tax and even more significant property tax, and I can't even carry a picture of a concealed firearm.
Wanna trade?
I used to live in New Jersey. Not only did I leave New Jersey, I escaped the USSA 4.5 years ago.
I wish I was intelligent like you.
*sigh*
I keep seeing this trade and the words "FUCK NO" keep blinking across the inside of my skull.
Good luck to you in the People's Republic. We'll keep a light on for ya in Texas.
I envy Texas.
Here I sit, deep in Subroutine 78 of the Matrix. Southern Cali, weather to die for, the glorious sun for more days in a year than most can imagine. Seems like paradise.
But it isn't.
Taxes are ASStronomical. Sales goddamn tax alone in Santa Monica is fucking 9.5 percent. Can you goddamn believe that? Say you go to a restaurant and have a killer meal and a great waiter. Expect to slap and extra goddamn THIRD on to your fucking bill. Fuel is insane. Electricity is insane. The red carpet is rolled out for anything dumb as a bag of cat shit that managed to make it across the Arizona desert without exploding inot a oozing pile of Pico de Gallo. The place has been run over entirely by illegal aliens as feral Negroes roam the hood. Thank god...at least they can't shoot straight. Rough if you're an eight year old on a bike in South LA, not so bad if you keep a 1911 in the nightstand. In a North Hollywood bank the other day I noticed I was the only caucasian. That war, my friends, is lost.
Our gun laws swallow giant pools of cock. Handgun Safety Cards issued by cluleess authoritarian liberals. Long Gun registraiton. Private gun sales must be conducted art FFL's. Some goddamn counties don;t allow internet ammo sales to be shipped to your home. Nannystate Light Bulbs. Billboards advertising faggot lifestyle everwhere in LA. Get your AIDS test, Jimmy.
This place is fucking doomed.
This place is fucking doomed
Shit Jimmy, some of us have known that for 30+ years.
Why I left in 2002, moved to Oklahoma. First thing I did was get a concelaed weapon license. Had it eer since, good for ten years now. They trust me with a gun longer than they do a car.
Shelter in place, do not come out.
Same here in Florida. Where the only thing we dislike more than books, is reading.
How do you know what kind of cereal you eat in the morning when you don't read?
It's always the same......GRITS!
God don't you ignorant Europeons know ANYTHING?!? ;)
we need to visit pigfarms to see how Americans eat so forgive us for not knowing everything ;)
Come on down I'll show you one down here, they eat everything, even sudden debt. ;)
Oh yeah, we have fecesbook and sploogle. Beat that sucka.
/sarc of course
Ah, yes, fecesbook. I 'post' everyday (when things are working right).
well, here in belgium which lies on the same circle as New York, it's 56 degrees. The warmest since decades :)
My nipples are froze an it's not even four yet.
Hey, but no state of emergency until the balls begin to freeze.
#WE CAN"T HELP OURSELVES
Just plaster those all over the broken plows.
A wee bit north of the Red River just off the I-35 it is a wintery 35 degrees, we do have a state income tax and I can carry an open or concealed firearm. And I do.
Do you work at one of the Indian casinos, on a wind farm, or are you a rancher?
Neither. Interesting question though. You edited that didn't you.
Uncle Remus, sounds like you live in Oklahoma too. Only place I know around these parts where open carry is legal. I OC a Kimber 1911 quite frequently here in the OKC area.
Yes. I am never without in OKC when I am there on client business. I work all over the state (and at odd hours on occasion), which outside of greater Tulsa & OKC, is essentially rural.
Based on your upstream, I've been in OK about as long as you, left AZ due to crime, the high COL and well, other incursions.
I sent you a contact notification. We should try and stay in touch with one another via another means besides here. Next time your in OKC, we can get together for lunch or dinner.
I am just unsure how things work around here. I have both you and Miffed set so I can follow your posts, and never get anything at all, even though you both post every day.
So therefore, not sure how the contact thingie works.
Whoopidy fucking do! Haven't ya'll seceded yet? I'm still waiting.
Here in my corner of IA it's colder than !@#$, we have a state income tax and I carry to my hearts content thank you very much.
At least that last part makes the first part bearable.
Here in Washington State, it is about 45 deg., we have no State income tax, we can carry concealed, AND we can legally smoke pot. Who can beat that?
Southern NH. 5 degrees, snowin and blowin, no income tax, no sales tax, open carry or conceal with permit ($10 for 5 years), and there's no motorcycle helmet law if you're over 18... Weed isn't legal per sey, but no one's gonna bust your balls unless you're driving around high.
Here in my part of the Democratic People's Republic California, it's beautiful all year round. I play golf at least twice a week, mostly in shirt sleeves or a sweater, we are taxed so much that people are migrating elsewhere, the State has it's arm up our arses to the elbow without any KY, the laws being passed by the Progressive Marxists here are unbearably intrusive, statist and just plain fucking dumb, I cannot carry openly unless I want to spend the rest of my life in the Buggery Basement at Pelican Bay and if I were to own a firearm in any case, I sure as shit wouldn't get it registered or get a carry permit as they'd know right were to come when the confiscation begins, but that's a moot point for me. (But there are substitutes, like baseball bats, knives, bows and arrows, Tazers, Mace and heads on sticks.) I even get to have illustrious intelligentsia like Maxine Water represent my state in Congress, all of whom still probably get airlifted back and forth between coasts on air-force equipment running up bottomless tabs on decades old Scotch, caviar and champagne. And most people out here are indeed a little bat-shit crazy, but then again, it is known as the precursor to American Society and Culture. Except for New Jersey and Snooki, et al, who we even laugh at. So fucking there, I dare you to beat that.
Nowhere is the weather as great, the radiation as high and the people as idiotically liberal, etc., etc., etc....
Just got back from SoCal, aparrently they get miffed when I flick my cigarette butts out the window of my buddies H1 Hummer...losers
Here in Oklahoma, the gun you carry with your ccw permit does not have to be registered. Ain't that a nice addition? ;-)
Cobra from NH, and you forgot about this:
http://blog.mpp.org/tax-and-regulate/new-hampshire-house-to-consider-bil...
minus twenty and the girls only get hotter. bring on minus thirty.
Anyone who cares little about the machinations of the criminal class?
Personally, I could give a fuck about what any of them believe I'm allowed to do.
(Well, as long as the guns remain pointed in another direction.)
No true law needs to ever be written down (as it is obvious), while anything written can never carry the force of a true law.
You have pot, we have Machine Guns and Destructive Devices here in Texas.
Keep your pot :)
H/H, 50 degrees? I would have my spring greens in at that temp. Meanwhile here in Utah you can c-carry, you just can not breath the air.
Here in Phoenix, at 4pm it is 74°, and I have always been able to open carry a pistol (unlike texas which pretends to be a gun rights state but isn't).
NY'ers should go hug a global warming clown today
NY'ers should hug a global warming wood chipper.
way to kick while chips are down...
Upper East Side Limousine Liberals should just outlaw the bad weather and tax it away.
Not to worry, that new Mayor Bosco has it covered
Come on, knuks! All they need is a sign reading No Bad Weather Zone, then break out the men's capri pants and sandals!
New York should have declared a state of emergency when NYC elected Bloomturd, and now Blasio for mayors. Good riddance to the whole cesspool. What a bunch of pussies.
I can't help but up vote anyone who compares New York (city) with cesspool. +1
Awwww, did dat hurt yo wittle NY feelwings?
OK. Along with George Soros, all NY'ers can lick my salty nuts.
Well they DO like the little ones! You're in luck.
PS - Thanks for the set up! ;)
It's gonna get Harry soon now that most of bitches have hit the trail leaving the money behind.
EVACUATE!!! EVACUATE!!!!!!
yeah... give them all a train ticket to detroit.
NY'ers will never go anyplace where's there is " no good delis".
A good deli is important.
Please don't evacuate. No one wants NY'ers!
Cuomo also said that in NY, you can only have 7 inches of snow. He declared that you have no need for more than that for any legal purpose.
pods
Yeah you can't control mother nature bitchez! Wait what's with HAARP and chem trails?
Fuck it, we're playing with fire.
Amazing how few people have woken up to those realities.
You don't need more than 7 inches of snow to freeze a deer!!!
It was funny in my head.
Now now, I've been told that 7" is bigger than average.
At least, that's the impression that Mr. Vonnegut gave me.
northern wisconsin laughs at you. laughs.
As are those other New Yorkers living in Buffalo and other lake-effect snow areas.
Fucking pussies. Barely worth firing up the snow blower for less than 6"
I guess NY is composed of banksters and lawyers.
Don't forget the minimum, slightly higher than minimum, and median wage workers who the banksters and lawyers live off of.
Bet NYers will look back fondly on Bloomberg by this time next year.
Why? Bloomberg was a fascist who ignored the Constitution and illegally searched everybody and turned the NYPD into a fascist, military police:
Bloomberg's main achievement was illegally stopping and frisking 1800 New Yorkers every day of his term. And the not-so-secret stop-and-frisk quota for every New York cop.
He also brought in drones and the Israeli miltary and police to train NY cops, the Israelification of the NYPD. The NYPD even opened a branch in Israel.
Bloomberg made New York safe for fascism.
“Given the amount of training the NYPD and so many other police forces have received from Israel’s military-intelligence apparatus,” Blumenthal concludes, “and the profuse levels of gratitude American police chiefs have expressed to their Israeli mentors, it is worth asking how much Israeli instruction has influenced the way the police have attempted to suppress the Occupy movement, and how much it will inform police repression of future upsurges of street protest. But already, the Israelification of American law enforcement appears to have intensified police hostility towards the civilian population, blurring the lines between protesters, common criminals, and terrorists.”
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/04/report-israeli-model-underlies-mil...
"blurring the lines between protesters, common criminals, and terrorists"
In America everyones a terrorist. Only in America!
Exceptionalism bitchez!
Yeah because DeBlazio will keep the same practice in place while bitching about the prior admin. Oh wait that was Obama, never mind, same difference.
Fortunately, you will not have to worry about the police having the gray matter to put what they learned from Israelis to use.
Don't fret, we're about to turn that whole place into a tomato farm soon, so I suggest you get out while the gettin is good or take ur chances at being stranded.
New London? If so, good. Tear that place down. It shouldn't be on the map, after Kelo v New London. I don't live anywhere near there.
It was your money or your life 13 years ago, they aint paid up yet and now they are running out of time.
So they're shutting down New Vagina? Did Status Cuomo check with DeBlazae?
It takes a village to puss out when they can't handle a few inches.
Imagine what would happen if there was a real crisis, like everybody else's money drying up.
"You don't need hundreds of plows and tons of salt to kill a deeeaaahhh!" - A. Bluomo
Ah fuck - what the hell - everyone take another week off in NYC - there's going to be snow flurries.
The mayor is paying for it.
Isn't big brother fucking excellent??
Snow in New York, Legal weed in Colorado...
PARTYYYYYYY!!!
Send this message to al gore.
FUCK CUOMO!! God Damned Fascist Dictator Piece of Shit!!
NANNY STATE ALERT!
Guess they can't drive the Audi, Mercedes or BMW's in this shit ha ....
Drove my S4 in the snow today.
Good fun.
Here on Long Island we are sheltering in place.
That place is a bar by my house
"state of emergency" = we can shoot you
The police do that anyways when they're going for a perp. No need for the SOE.
Might be a lot more retail investors watching the market tomorrow than usual, what with being snowed in.
but, but, but, but global warming...it's all been proven...you're all just racist global warming deniars, that's what you are...yeah...you're all just racists and stupid people too...mean and stupid deniars of the global warming epidemic that will burn the planet into a fireball like the sun unless we kill 6.5 Billion people, stop exhaling CO2 and water vapor, save the poor polar bears from drowning in melted glaciers, and tax everybody for being breathing, eating, racist global warming DENIAR RACISTS!!!
/snikker... ;-)
How come nobody plays the knockout game on any of the global warming fuck-tards??? Now that would be putting a right cross and an upper-cut to good use.
Are you paid to write like that, or is it just a public service?
Al? Is that you? I know, I know...you and your kind can't take global warming/climate change humor from us "racist deniars"...how's that humongous mansion in California working out for you? I'm sure it's totally off-grid and has no "carbon footprint" at all, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhht? ;-)
So Al...have you run a geiger counter around your property in Malibu lately? I'm sure the massive amounts of Fukushima radiation that will soon be wafting into your living room non-stop for decades to come will do wonders for your property values and your health as well! Live long and prosper, Al ;-)
/sarc
This is about federal emergency funds and nothing more. Watch the dollars go from Obama to his lackeys on the east coast.
Ding, ding MFing ding.
This just in:
Incoming socialist mayor declares municipal worker overtime bonanza.
Damn! Another snowstorm? Yikes, how many does this make? I read the UK papers every morning and have been following since last year the steady stream of North Atlantic and North Sea storms that crash into Britain, it is nearly endless.
The Jet Stream is in an unusual deep wave pattern which gets stuck in place for long periods, Depending on which side of the jet stream you are on, you can be locked into storm after storm. This is just how the UK has been and now New England. Evidence from the changing ocean currents and the unglued jet stream seem to indicate that New England could see cold winters and severe storms, the same for England.
I am stuck on the cold side of the big jet stream dip, and for us, that means cold. Sunday coming up we expect a high of -17 degrees F, and a low of -32 degrees F. I can assure you from years of living up here, anything under -30F is fucking cold! Funny thing once when I had a girl friend from Australia, she came to stay with me for the Holidays. Coming from Midsummer in Melbourne Victoria, to Northern Minnesota in late December. That poor girl damn near died. She kept breathing through her nose and nearly froze he sinuses. I finally convinced her that you must breath through your mouth in weather below zero.
From my following of climate news, I believe the pattern that the NE and England experience now should continue until there is some bigger influence to break the pattern. El Nino is due, this coming year, if it indeed does develop, then hang onto your hats, if you are long insurance companies that are into property coverage, I suggest getting the hell out right now. Go long building supply companies, I am looking into such an investment on a small scale, IF I see the big El nino event developing.
Jet stream getting stuck never used to happen until what, a decade ago?
But weather manipulation is just a conspiracy, of course.

greetings from Northeast England - nothing to see here, just the usual rain. UK for the press = London and the Southeast, where the local banksters live.
Another Sandy? All those grid-tied only solar systems - when the grid is down your solar setup is worthless....
Apparently, Coumo had an insatiable need to get his name in the paper.
Loser.
Just east of Cleveland here along the lake. I have a deck table out in this and took a ruler out. Measured exactly 17 inches and counting. Everyone here is still driving around like theres no snow.
Don't throw any snowballs at city sanitation workers, $1,500 fine. Report any suspectous activity by calling 311 or http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/nycsevereweather/weather_home.shtml

Pussies.
Another mayor who sits down when he pees.
New York City (where I live) is a laughing stock.
We are a bunch of pussies wetting our pants because it is going to snow tonight.
Unreal.
Think Washington DC, the place that shuts down two days BEFORE an 1" of snow "hits"
92 degrees here and wearing bermudas....
Unintended consequences of trying to centrally plan the weather.
5-6 inches of snow? That's a dusting in Oswego. LOL! Puzzies!
Buffalo and the whole Southern Tier laugh at you NYC pussies.
8-10"? HAH!
I wanna go. I've been in a State of Emergency ever since Fall semester got out. I should have take Winter but I couldn't get Yellen up my FASFA.
As kids growing up on LI, we would engage in a practice we called skitching where you wuld hang out by astop sign and grab on to the back bumper of a car and get yourself dragged along on snow covered roads.Coumo probably went to ballet lessons
82 in FL today, no state income tax and carry concealed all day long baby!
Up north here it was 7 below and I was out for two hours with just a hat with my face exposed and had my glove off for 20 minutes. When I returned home, the government was issuing warnings about have any skin exposed for 5 minutes in Boston. What's Chicken Little's number at the weather bureau, so I can obtain government help?
'Bout time Cali took the next 6 months off ahead of the next quake. Get Moonbeam on the line.
Having our own mini blizzard here in north Georgia mountains. 18 degrees, 20 mph winds and a half inch of snow. Bring out the snow plows the pups don't like to make yellow snow.
The " Il Duce on the Hudson " has decreed - no drivers shall be seen on the wee dictator's roads. What a joke. Who in their right mind would live in that hellhole. I live in Maine -its bad enough - but I could never imagine dealing with the full blown tyrants and their retard decrees ,found in New Yaawk. At least here in Maine the tyrants ruling us are restrained by a modicum of common sense. Then again they could decree and everyone 15 miles north of the coast would just say fuck em!
Generally speaking, liberal cities can always use an enema provided by mother nature.
Global warming strikes again
