Storm Blocks Streets As Horses Crack Cripple Transit
A fierce winter storm crippled New York City streets with more than six thousand horses and slick ice. Traffic clogged by wrecks and stalls, elevated lines hit, and trains delayed as surface cars collided with a brewery wagon and other obstacles. The storm moved from Virginia toward New Jersey, dropping to 18 degrees with 40 mph winds and about an inch of snow. Public schools closed in the eastern state, and city officials prepared snow removal plans for today.
