"Mayor Zohran Mamdani spent the weekend gearing up for the second major snowstorm of his tenure, bracing the city for 12-18 inches of snowfall expected between Sunday and Monday. The city has prepared 2,200 snow plows, 1,000 emergency snow shovelers, dozens of warming centers and buses, and declared a Code Blue instructing city shelters to take in any New Yorkers stuck in the cold."
"The blizzard comes just weeks after a storm that brought a dozen inches of snow to parts of New York City and a historic extended cold snap that led to the deaths of 20 New Yorkers. This weekend's storm could bring the most snowfall the city has seen in the past five years. As snow begins to fall on the five boroughs, Mamdani and his administration are looking to take the lessons they learned during January's snowfall into their response to this weekend's storm,"
"Mamdani declared a state of emergency and announced a travel ban, both of which will begin at 9 p.m. on Sunday, at an afternoon news conference. More than 7,400 flights scheduled for Sunday and Monday have been canceled, and over half of all flights at John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports have been canceled in anticipation of the storm. Like last time, Mamdani has a key message for New Yorkers: stay inside."
