'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night shall staythese criminal bankers and stock market riggers from theswift completion of their appointed rounds.'
Update on Monday evening: It appears the storm center is slipping further east, and so the worst of the storm will miss NJ and NYC. The worst wind and snowfall will be hitting eastern Long Island and New England.
-----
In discussing this with some friends and students of meteorology, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty about how far to the West that the major impact of this storm will go.
The problem is that the storm is fairly delineated, and a difference of 25 to 50 miles for the path of the storm center will make a significant difference for NJ and even NYC with regard to winds and snow totals.
But it appears that plans are proceeding, and things are being battened down for the snow and potentially damaging winds.
Mayor DeBlasio just announced that all non-emergency vehicles will be banned from the roadways after 11 PM. Schools closed tomorrow. Parks closing at 6 PM because of danger from falling branches.
New Jersey Transit is stopping commuter train service at 10 PM tonight.
