"New York City could get walloped with up to a foot of snow or more starting tomorrow morning into Monday as the storm appears primed to develop into a powerful nor'easter, potentially surpassing totals from January's major snowstorm. "We are now expecting between 13-17 inches of snow, but there is a slight chance we may see up to 20 inches, if not more," Mamdani said."
"The latest First Alert Forecast shows the brunt of the storm, with the heaviest snow and most powerful wind gusts, is expected after sunset Sunday. The storm will stretch into Monday, which the mayor also warned will mean an "extremely hazardous" morning commute across the five boroughs. "With heavy snowfall and peak winds coinciding to create slippery conditions and greatly reduced visibility," he said. "Combined with daytime temperatures slipping above freezing and overnight lows dropping to the low 20s, the snowfall will melt, then refreeze, resulting in dangerously icy sidewalks and streets," he said."
New York City is expected to see significant snowfall beginning Sunday night into Monday, with forecasts indicating 13–17 inches and a chance of 20 inches or more. The storm is likely to develop into a powerful nor'easter with the heaviest snow and strongest wind gusts after sunset Sunday and continuing into Monday. Travel is expected to be extremely hazardous, with greatly reduced visibility and slippery conditions for the morning commute across all five boroughs. Temperatures will fluctuate above and below freezing, causing melt and refreeze that will create dangerously icy sidewalks and streets. City operations include pre-snow preparations Saturday, plow and salt deployment, and over 2,600 sanitation workers on 12-hour shifts starting Sunday. A Code Blue begins 4 p.m. Saturday, and a decision on in-person public school sessions for Monday will be made by noon Sunday.
