"Hizzoner confidently stated that he is ready for round two of the big snowstorm this winter but didn't mince words when it came to the severity of the snowfall expected to coat the Big Apple throughout Sunday and Monday. A blanket of between 18-24 inches has been forecast to fall across the city in all. If it comes to pass as is predicted, this will put this snowfall into the top 10 snowfall events in the history of New York City. That is what we are looking at, Mamdani warned. The bottom line is to stay home and stay safe."
"This cautioning came prior to a citywide travel ban that is expected to begin at 9 p.m. The ban will see highways, bridges, and even streets shut down to all traffic, including cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes, with the only exceptions being made to emergency service vehicles. According to Mamdani, this is due to the safety of drivers. Standing beside Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, he also charged that the NYPD will be on hand to deal with emergencies."
A state of emergency was declared ahead of a weekend blizzard expected to drop 18 to 24 inches across the city, potentially ranking among the top ten snowfall events in city history. A citywide travel ban is set to begin at 9 p.m., closing highways, bridges, streets, and banning cars, trucks, scooters, and e-bikes, with only emergency vehicles exempt. The NYPD will be available to respond to emergencies. Residents are urged to avoid nonessential travel and remain indoors. Hazardous conditions threaten delivery workers, drivers, and restaurant staff. Plans include intensified efforts to move homeless individuals off the streets into shelter.
