What is the impact of the winter storm on New York City?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Tens of millions of people are under blizzard warnings as a massive winter storm continues to batter the northeastern U.S. at this hour. Reporter Steve Kastenbaum says New York City is getting buried for the second time in less than a month.
The sound of snowblowers echoed across the city as the sun fell, the snow accumulation increased, and winds picked up here. Earlier in the day, Mayor Zoran Mondani issued a travel ban declaring that New Yorkers had to be off the streets tonight through the morning hours. The state of emergency closes the streets, highways, and bridges of New York City for all traffic.
Forecasters said if this storm stays on its predicted track when all is said and done the city could be buried beneath 18 and 24 inches of snow. It prompted the school's chancellor to issue a rare snow day meaning 940,000 public school students will have the day off on Monday. For NPR News, I'm Steve Kastenbaum in New York.

Amazon, Google, and other big tech companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI, but it's unclear how soon or how much those investments will pay off. Meanwhile, non-tech companies like Home Depot and the owner of TJ Maxx will also report earnings.
