They're closing all NYC streets after 2:30 pm today.

Ironically, its a good thing the Rangers are on the road to Canada lol! Being snowed in with canceled Rangers games would a huge bummer.

Came back to LI to help my parents shovel. Wonder what the work commute will be like on Monday and if I can pull a working from home due to poor LIRR service.

I still remember a couple of years ago there was a huge snow storm, and they didn't postpone the game. Made my way in, and half the arena was empty. They had massive discounts on food, and merch. Was pretty awesome.

They're also closing down LIRR, MNRR and all elevated/outdoor subway lines at 4PM.

I just hope everyone gets out and shovels in small pieces. If you try to wait this out and shovel at the end you're going to be in big trouble.

I live in a town called Point of Rocks, MD. At my house we have 31 inches with no end in sight.

this map shows actual snow depth ; http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/22/us/east-coast-snow-storm.html?_r=0
Virginia/Maryland border area have been hit by some 40 inches of snow.
40!! inches that is allot of snow. That is equivalent of 100 cm (1m). Simply mind boggling.

Im in town for weekend, planning on going to the game against Buff Monday night. Hopefully this weather clears up by then. I bought tickets to the Isles-Flyers game at Barclays tonight because they were dirt cheap when i was browsing for them last night on stubhub. Unfortunately they postponed that game so I will have to that up for resale i guess.

Does anyone know how long this weather is supposed to last?
I've got a connecting flight in Newark on my way to a Metal Cruise leaving from Fr. Lauderdale in about a week...
