PHOTOS: Even A Bomb Cyclone Can't Stop NYC

NEW YORK, NY – Even a Bomb Cyclone can't make the city that never sleeps take a rest. Blizzard conditions caused a virtual whiteout, schools closed and a state of emergency was declared but, as usual, the city kept moving.

Subways were running almost at full service, though airports were badly hit and commuter trains reported heavy delays during the morning commute. The evening rush was expected to be worse as the snow continues to fall.

Many people took to social media to complain about streets not being plowed and subway steps being snowbound. The city's sanitation department had 2,400 workers and thousands of plows out tackling the storm, commissioner Kathryn Garcia said.

Up to 10 inches is expected to fall before the storm ends this evening.

Though the snow will finish then, forecasters are warning to expect brutal cold – even worse than we've seen lately with highs of just 12 degrees expected Saturday.
