De Blasio Urges New Yorkers to Prepare for Powerful Snowstorm

Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Sunday that one of the biggest storms to ever strike New York City may be approaching, and he urged people to stay indoors to avoid powerful winds, low visibility and “treacherous” road conditions.

The most recent heavy snowfall came on the day after Christmas in 2010, when 20 inches came down, paralyzing the Long Island Rail Road, stranding ambulances and trapping commuters for hours on an A train that was stranded on an icy section of elevated track in Queens.
