USA Icy rivers in New York - ferry service largely suspended
In the metropolis of New York, ferry services have been largely suspended due to a severe winter storm and bitterly cold sub-zero temperatures. According to the ferry operator NYC Ferry, the ice on the Hudson River and the East River meant that ferry traffic was no longer possible. This could remain the case for several more days. Other ferry operators in the city on the US East Coast have also suspended or at least significantly reduced their services.
