Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a state of emergency on Sunday night that includes restricting non-emergency travel beginning at 6 a.m. on Monday.
De Blasio made the announcement as the first hours of snowfall began to hit New York City. The National Weather Service�s latest forecast predicts over 20 inches of accumulation will hit Staten Island.
�Make no mistake: this storm will bring heavy snowfall, and it will make travel dangerous in every neighborhood in our city,� said de Blasio.
�New Yorkers should stay home, keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles, and let our plows work to keep us all safe,� said de Blasio. �This order will be mandatory at 6 a.m. tomorrow, and everyone should make necessary preparations this evening.�

Restricting Non-Essential Travel According to my logical reckoning, going out to receive a Corona vaccination, is critically essential, and for de Blasio to have decided otherwise and cancel all such appointments today, just shows how warped his thinking & priorities are, and how disillusioned & uncaring he is.
I sincerely hope the snow washes away his BLM painting outside President Donald Trump’s former residence, which this idiot considered his highest of all priorities.
DeBlasio the communist. Now that he got away with exerting his power with covid he’s using this test his overreach.
