The Port of New York and New Jersey announced the closure of major terminals and depots due to bad weather.

In a tweet posted recently, the port said, "With the exception of the ECW CES, all PONYNJ Major Terminal Operators and Depots will be closed tomorrow, 2/13."

The US National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for multiple cities on the East Coast. Heavy snow is expected in portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York until 6:00 pm EST.

According to the Economic Times, the snowstorm is anticipated to disrupt traffic along the Interstate 95 highway, which is a key transport route that passes through 15 states on the East Coast.

With forecasts of up to 8 inches (app. 20 centimetres), disruptions to transport and port operations are likely to remain for a few days.
