“We are not sure that even if we had managed to assemble a team that night, we would have been able to safely load the newspapers onto our trucks. We were also not sure whether the final stage of delivery would have been possible at all,” Russell said, quoted in the newspaper's release.
The blizzard also seriously hampered the newspaper's distribution on Monday. As reported, only 25 percent subscribers received their copies. Snow and strong winds prevented workers from safely reaching the printing plant
According to CBS News, Tuesday's situation was the first time in the newspaper's history that daily production was completely canceled. In the past, printing was only stopped by employee strikes in the 1950s and 1960s. Nevertheless, as the daily reminds, even during the greatest crises, the newspaper always tried to reach its readers.
