Areas from Buffalo to Albany were expecting up to 14 inches. New York City and its northern suburbs were under a winter storm warning and Long Island was under a blizzard warning, with wind gusts up to 45 mph and up to 10 inches of snow predicted by Friday, the National Weather Service said. “Given the poor weather forecast, we made an early decision to cancel Friday’s racing so as to minimize any inconvenience to our customers, horsemen and employees,” said Eric Wing, director of communications for NYRA. NYRA canceled live racing at Aqueduct Racetrack for Friday, and post times at the track were moved up Thursday so the last race could go off a half-hour early, around 3:45 p.m., though no snow had yet hit the area. New York - A winter storm with blizzard potential began hitting the Northeast on Thursday, forcing the New York Racing Association to alter its schedule and prompting the New York Islanders to offer fans a nice option.
