"We are going to see more than 2,000 of those sanitation workers begin 12 hour shifts starting tomorrow evening,"
"They will salt as soon as we see the first snowflakes hit the ground, with 700 salt spreaders, and then as soon as we see two inches of snow accumulate, 2,200 plows activate across the city."
"nation's largest snow fighting operation."
A strong winter storm is forecast to bring eight to fourteen inches of snow to New York City, beginning early Sunday morning and continuing through Monday afternoon, with the most intense period Sunday morning through evening. Warnings cover wide swaths of the tri-state area and conditions will include limited visibility and slippery travel. Temperatures will fall sharply, with Saturday night lows near 13°F and wind chills around -10°F; Sunday and Monday will remain below freezing. City crews will deploy extensive brining, 700 salt spreaders, and 2,200 plows after two inches accumulate, supported by more than 2,000 sanitation workers and real-time BladeRunner NYC tracking.
