That sucks, I also hear the guy who stood outside for the Wii U had to leave as well.
"Our top priority is the safety of our employees and customers. In compliance with directives issued by state and local authorities, stores in the path of the storm will remain closed until it is safe to re-open and midnight openings for Assassin's Creed III have been cancelled in the northeast. Customers should check with their local stores for details on when we will re-open."
Midnight launches in other regions of the United States will not be affected.
