News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. And I'm Karen Moscow. Karen, first we want to bring you the very latest on the powerful snowstorm pounding the Northeast. Let's bring in Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen for the very latest. Craig, how bad is it? It is really bad around New York City and suburbs, about 50 to 100 miles all directions of New York City.
So in other words, one of the heaviest bands of snow is is occurring right down through the Garden State Parkway corridor of eastern New Jersey. There's already a foot and a half of snow on the ground, with more heavy snow continuing to fall. It's moving in from off the ocean. So the Jersey Shore, Long Island, New York City, the coastal sections of Connecticut,
will be in very heavy snow for at least the next three to six hours. It's over in DC. It's probably just going to be a couple of flurries or even snow showers during the afternoon, but no major accumulations. And then working our way north along 95 towards Boston, You're in it now. The snow is falling. It is 32 degrees and snowing in Boston. And some very heavy bands are showing up offshore.
They're moving towards Boston now. And amounts are going to be very, very similar to what we're seeing just a little bit farther down the road. So I could expect anywhere from at least 6 to 12 inches of snow for Boston and suburbs. Okay, so it's over for D.C. When's it going to be over for everybody, Craig?
For everybody, I would say New York City, the worst of the heaviest snow, will probably taper down around lunchtime or so. However, it'll go through the rest of the entire day and right on into this evening up towards Boston. That's the way the storm is moving. All right, Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen, and thank you, Craig. Of course, we'll be checking in with you throughout the morning.
Well, the snow is piling up in New York City, and that has the mayor closing schools and enacting a travel ban.

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on the snowstorm hitting the Northeast?
Bloomberg's John Tucker continues our team coverage from Manhattan. John, good morning. Good morning, Karen. Yeah, New York City has not faced a storm of this scale in the last decade, and he may be new to the job, but Mayor Mamdani is already a snow veteran. We are looking to utilize every tool that was successful last time around and then utilize new tools as well.
Highways, bridges and streets into New York were closed last night. Schools, they are shut this morning. The subway system operating with local service while Metro North is running a weekend schedule. Service on the Long Island Railroad suspended. New Jersey Transit shuttered. No service.
A state of emergency exists in New York and New Jersey, and the message throughout the tri-state area is simple. Stay off the roads. Here's Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont. We have the best Olympic hockey team in the country, and they do pretty well on ice, but we don't. That's a sentiment echoed by New Jersey's Governor Mikey Sherrill. We need to be prepared. We need to be safe. Get water.
Get all of your charging done with your devices. Stay off the roads. In Boston, Mayor Michelle Wood declared a snow emergency. Most snow New York got in a day that was 27 inches in January of 2016. And keep in mind, everybody, what our meteorologist Rob Carolyn is saying, it could take until April for us to break out of this weather pattern. In New York, I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
He had to say that, didn't he, John? Thank you. Well, this storm is wreaking havoc on air travel as well, as you might imagine. Bloomberg's Alexis Christophorus joins us now with that part of the story. Good morning, Alexis. Good morning. This blizzard along the East Coast and mid-Atlantic has already grounded more than 5,500 flights this morning.
About 8,500 flights are now delayed, and those numbers are just expected to climb as the storm is set to dump up to 30 inches of snow in some areas. Airlines began offering travel waivers to help customers avoid flight disruptions. And impacts are especially severe at New York's LaGuardia Airport and JFK, where nearly all flights have been canceled today.
And things are going from bad to worse for Delta Airlines. It expects to halt operations at New York and Boston airports into tomorrow. Delta is also warning of broader disruptions across its network nationwide. That's due to a technical issue affecting its check-in and boarding systems.
So if you're scheduled to fly today, be sure to call your airline to check your flight status before you head out to the airport. In New York, Alexis Christophorus, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Alexis, thank you. While some say you deserve a medal for braving these blizzard-like conditions, millions are still buzzing about the U.S. performance in the Olympics. Yesterday, the U.S.
team closed out the games with a gold medal in men's hockey, and Bloomberg's John Stashower joins us now with more on the historic win. John. Thanks, Karen. Overtime in men's hockey and a U.S. victory on a gold medal-winning goal scored by the New Jersey Devils. Jack Hughes. It's a journey. It's the whole lifetime of work, and I'm just a part of that.
