New York Travelers Face Delays as Winds Slow Clear-Up

New York commuters and travelers face further disruptions today as winds hinder efforts to clear roads and runways following the heaviest December snows in six decades.

While the storm is moving slowly away, rising atmospheric pressure will continue to cause winds gusting to about 40 mph (64 kph) in some open areas, commercial forecaster AccuWeather Inc. said on its website. Winds may “quickly” cover roads with snow, according to a winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service late yesterday.
