"The forecasted snowfall, expected to begin late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, would be the city's biggest in years, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at a briefing Friday morning. Still, Lieber said the MTA system stands ready to deal with whatever nature throws at it over the coming days. We have detailed plans in place for storms like this, to protect the network, to protect our riders and to protect our employees, Lieber said."
"Lieber said de-icing systems will also be in place for the outdoor track, adding that commuter railroads like Metro North and Long Island Rail Road will have the same protections. Buses are the major workhorses' in winter storms: Lieber Lieber described buses as the major workhorses of winter storms like the one forecasted this weekend, stating that buses will continue to run even if the subway and commuter rail services face challenges."
The forecast predicts at least 10 inches of snow Sunday into Monday, with snowfall beginning late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The event would be the city's biggest in years. The MTA has detailed plans to protect the transit network, riders, and employees. Snow-fighting trains will keep 220 miles of outdoor subway track operational. De-icing systems will operate on outdoor track and commuter railroads, including Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road, will receive the same protections. Buses are positioned as the primary workhorses during the storm and will continue running if other services face challenges. The agency deploys 35 snow-clearing vehicles, will fit chains on operational buses, and will remove longer articulated buses for safety.
