A travel ban is in full effect until 7am Sunday in New York - while neighboring New Jersey battles floods - as winter storm Jonas battered the East coast with 'life-threatening' blizzard conditions. Officials announced that there were three shoveling-related deaths in New York City, as police responded to 312 car accidents and 343 disabled vehicles across the city. A ban on travel in the Big Apple and Long Island has been in effect since 2.30pm. 'We have said this before - unless it is truly an emergency, you should not be on the roads,' New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said earlier Saturday. 'The roads are truly, truly dangerous.' He declared a state of emergency in New York and warned citizens to stay off the streets as winds reached up to 60mph with snow falling at a rate of three inches an hour. All above ground subway routes and the Long Island Railroad stopped running at 4pm because tracks began to ice over as winter storm Jonas continues to batter the East Coast with 'life-threatening blizzard conditions'. Meanwhile, for coastal communities, the powerful snowstorm brought widespread flooding - an added danger beyond freezing temperatures, power outages and slippery roads.
