Brooklyn experienced one of the decade's most intense blizzards with up to 16 inches of snow in parts of Kings County and drifts driven by 40–60 mph gusts. Snow fell at rates of one to two inches per hour in many neighborhoods, producing whiteout conditions and hazardous travel. A travel ban remains in effect until noon, and blizzard warnings continue until 6 p.m., with extension undecided. Sanitation crews worked 12-hour shifts and roughly 2,600 workers were deployed, but many side streets remained untreated. Public transit faced disruptions with express trains running locally and major thoroughfares slick or partially blocked.
