"Blizzard conditions are now expected as a nor'easter races toward the metropolitan area Sunday and threatens to drop as much as 18 inches in some spots, according to the latest projections from the National Weather Service. Forecasters say snow will begin moving into New York and North Jersey Sunday morning, with conditions deteriorating through the afternoon. Whiteouts and wind gusts topping 50 miles per hour are expected Sunday night into Monday morning."
"Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a briefing Saturday that snow accumulation could grow to 20 inches. He also cautioned that with daytime temperatures "slipping above freezing and overnight lows dropping to the low 20s," sidewalks and streets would be dangerously icy, perhaps "even more hazardous conditions than we faced the last time around." The mayor said he will make a decision on in-person instruction at city schools by noon Sunday, but said city agencies are making changes ahead of the storm."
Blizzard conditions are expected as a nor'easter moves into New York and North Jersey Sunday, with snowfall totals projected up to 20 inches in spots. Snow will begin Sunday morning and intensify through the afternoon into Sunday night and Monday, producing whiteouts and wind gusts exceeding 50 mph that could reduce visibility to an eighth to a quarter mile. Dangerous to impossible travel is likely, with downed limbs and power outages possible. City agencies activated snow-clearing equipment early, expanded geocoded tracking, and required four-foot cleared sidewalk paths for accessibility. Near-freezing daytime temperatures and low 20s overnight will create hazardous icing.
