NYC Mayor: ‘Better safe than sorry’

That was New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s message to New Yorkers on Tuesday morning as they woke up to just 7 inches of snownothing compared to forecasts of an epic storm that could heap 2 to 3 feet on the City.

De Blasio practically shut down the city and mobilized a massive city-wide response as New York braced for a blizzard that the National Weather Service called “life threatening” and “potentially historic.” Heeding meteorologists’ forecasts, de Blasio urged New Yorkers Monday to “prepare for something worse than we have seen before.”

“We’re getting back to normal pretty quickly here. It’s going to be a fast return to normalcy,” de Blasio said.
