I found the following sentence in today's New York Times.
Inaction and delays by New York as storm bore down. The city's decision not to declare a snow emergency, transit officials' delay in invoking a full-scale emergency plan and a seemingly late bid for help may face scrutiny.
What does the "storm bore down" mean? Does it mean the "storm was pressed down"? Please teach me.
