Yes, that is an issue! I walked up to Katz' deli today after buying an "emergency" shirt for my extra day here in Soho, and things were getting pretty slushy. Some streets were fine, others were a mess. I did take UBER back to the hotel because my feet had it for a while. (That one sandwich at about 2pm was my only full meal for the day. I am barely hungry tonight.)
Early this evening, on Canal St (which was getting really messy especially going to the 1 line entrance) the suction of the icy puddle pulled my shoe partway off, and it was the first wet sock experience of the trip, so I consider myself lucky, and not too much water entered the shoe.
As expressed by Tom, I'm glad to have come, glad I didn't need to be home today, and hope the on-time gods cooperate tomorrow. For a life long Californian who has never seen snow fall like this, it was neato.
