Ferocious storm lands in Central Park, NYC
A ferocious winter storm that tore across the southeastern seaboard slammed into New York City on Tuesday, forcing the cancellation of thousands of flights and threatening train, bus and rail service for millions of commuters across the region.
The giant amoeba-shaped snowstorm officially touched down in Central Park between 8:30 and 9 pm on Tuesday. But hours earlier, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg had already declared a weather emergency, something he did not do during the Dec. 26 and 27 blizzard that paralyzed the city with 20 inches of snow.

As New York City geared up for what was expected to be another major snowstorm, shovels and windshield scrapers were set out for shoppers at the Home Depot on 23rd Street in Manhattan. Predictions called for as much as a foot of snow. (NYT Photo)
