New York: A Whipping of Snow, Ice, and Freezing Temperatures

Is this like the plague of Hail?

A friend who lives in Boro Park, Brooklyn, said she felt the weather reminded her of the 'makkoh of hail from Mitzrayim'. While in Egypt another type of storm is simultaneously disrupting life on the Nile. The Presidents wife and son have fled to safety.

The sixth winter storm.....This is on top of the already over a foot of snow, still piled up high on many streets. Mayor Bloomberg has just declared a Weather Emergency:"The public is urged to avoid all unnecessary driving for the duration of the storm."
