The Sanitation Department is once again mobilizing its fleet of salt spreaders and snow plows in advance of the storm. Preparation operations throughout city government are underway, according to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is expected to outline further details at a press conference Saturday afternoon."

If you can stay home, stay home."
