Hello there,
I must apologise. I have been a little hard on airline companies last night. I didn't understand that "bad temperature in NYC" means flooding... Maybe I was fooled cause in Canadian, Temperature refers to a different concept.
But in fact is was quite bad as you can see on the picture aside. Almost 5 inches of rain (over 10 cm ;)), as precises the New York Times. The air traffic was heavily affected with
500 cancellations on Sunday [which] forced hundreds of travelers to spend the night at the airport.Airports weren't the only transportation medium to be affected and
I wish my dear visitor a good flight back to his City tonight.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority warned of extensive disruptions and delays on its Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad lines. It said 975 parking spaces at its North White Plains station were flooded and unavailable for use.
Bye,
Tara-G V
