Well, here in New York City, the blizzard of the millennia turned out to be Snowpocalypse Lite -- otherwise known as a fairly normal winter snowstorm. Nonetheless, the shutting down of the city -- no cars, commuter trains, subways -- was out of the ordinary. Call it Shutdownmageddon! It seems that New England had it worse. Tom New York City, which was shut down overnight, was spared the worst of a snowstorm that swept across the Northeast early Tuesday and slowly returned to its normal rhythms as travel bans were lifted and transit services gradually restored. But even as buses and trains began to move again, the widespread closings left the city virtually deserted in the early morning hours. Grand Central Terminal was deserted, Times Square was quiet and the streets of Lower Manhattan were largely empty of financial workers. nytimes/2015/01/28/nyregion/new-york-blizzard.html
