‘Historic’ storm tests 2 governors — again

While the storm is expected to also heavily impact neighboring states including Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, it’s the New Jersey-New York executives who also face the national political side effects. The governors will need to show that they can effectively ramp up their state’s emergency protocols and respond swiftly to dynamic storm conditions that will bring snow, freezing rain and freezing temperatures.

Blizzard conditions are expected across the Northeast, which will make driving conditions hazardous as large areas are whited out by upwards of one to three feet of snow. The National Weather Services said conditions of the incoming nor’easater could be “life threatening.” The storm could also bring power outages and coastal flooding.

“Like Kobe Bryant, I’m on the bench for this snow storm (sadly in DC, ugh!),” he tweeted to CNN’s Ashley Codianni.
