The storm began Saturday at 6 a.m., moved through the city with 20 mph winds, and by 7 p.m. extra crews were at snowplows as a snow emergency was declared by the traffic commissioner.
The blizzard closed streets to motorists and halted operations at Kennedy Airport Saturday night and Sunday morning while New York Area airports Newark and LaGuardia stayed open. Central Park banned traffic through Tuesday as sledders and skaters welcomed the holiday gift. Sanitation crews pledged to clear 2,300 miles of primary streets by noon Sunday and forecasts showed no more snow through Wednesday.
