New York under the snow. As much as it hasn’t fallen since 2016, when the city was literally submerged in snow and Central Park registered 70 centimeters. February started like this. Under the snow storm Orlena, the most abundant in the last five years, as the mayor of the city reiterated Bill de Blasio declaring a state of emergency and inviting citizens to stay at home.
«New Yorkers must stay at home, keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles and let the snow blowers work to keep us safe, ”said Bill de Blasio whose voice was also joined by that of New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo.
There are many images that tell of these hours of a storm that seems an (almost) perfect metaphor of the new American journey.
Although, the obstacles caused by the heavy snowfall are many: one above all, cancellation of appointments for anti-covid vaccinations, the vaccine administration centers are currently closed. Schools that resume online lessons are also stopped, many planes remain on the ground, 70-80% of flights at John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports have been canceled, difficulties in guaranteeing the service even for trains and main means of city transport.
Based on the data released by National Weather Service, the US National Weather Service, more than 40 centimeters of snow have fallen in New York to date and another 20 is expected to fall before the storm is over.
The emergency was also declared in nearby New Jersey with a consequent stop to vaccines also in that area, as happens in Boston, Massachusetts, and in Philadelphia where the centers for the administration of vaccines are currently all closed and appointments already fixed risk slipping by a week.
