It appears that the amount of snow falling in the Northeast isn't the only problem that is affecting air travel. There are also very high winds that are causing significant problems as well.

The NYS Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Services posted that not only is heavy snow an issue at this time, but gusting winds. Some of those winds can be going up to 60 mph.

Heavy snow and winds up to 60 mph, creating blizzard-like conditions, will continue through this afternoon for the Mid-Hudson, NYC, and Long Island.

 

 

This is going to be one of those storms that is going to take a few days to clean up from in the affected areas. So make sure to be patient.
