The city is already at standstill, with offices and shops closed. The New year revelry scheduled for tomorrow night may also affect the change of weather. The present snow storm is compared to the one in 1996. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that the city has taken all precautions and have deputed more than 2000 trucks to remove snow from the streets.
Snow falling is a beautiful sight.
If you are traveling or going to work at this below zero degree temperature, it will not be that beautiful. So beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, as the maxim has it.
