Blizzard "Juno" has severely impacted the northeastern United States, bringing powerful snowstorms that have caused major transportation disruptions and significantly affected local residents' lives and travel plans. Starting at 27th local time in New York, work and school were suspended. Currently, the blizzard situation in the U.S. is under control, and public transportation has gradually resumed normal operations. The U.S. National Tourism Authority stated that the blizzard is not as severe as initially expected, and the public does not need to be overly concerned.

Regarding flights from Taiwan to New York, both China Airlines and EVA Air are operating normally on the 29th. As it is just after the holiday period, the current season is considered the off-peak for Taiwanese travelers visiting the U.S. The U.S. National Tourism Authority stated that this blizzard has minimal impact on Taiwanese travelers, but still advises those already in the U.S. to stay safe. Travelers planning to visit should check flight schedules and weather forecasts, and confirm their plans with their travel agencies before departure.
