"A potentially major winter storm will hit New York City this weekend, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Thursday the city is leaving nothing to chance. Mamdani said the Sanitation Department would begin pretreating the city's highways, major streets, and bike lanes with brine on Friday to prevent ice and snow buildup in advance of the storm, which could drop as little as 3 inches or as much as a foot or more of snow, depending on various forecast models."
"The storm is expected to arrive late Saturday night or early Sunday morning on the heels of an extreme cold snap that will bear down on the Big Apple Friday night. Temperatures will drop into the teens and remain there throughout the day Saturday; in fact, the National Weather Service does not expect temperatures to get above freezing through at least next Wednesday."
"My recommendation to New Yorkers is if you're interested in buying some groceries or getting a new winter coat, today is the day I would recommend you do so, the mayor advised during an unrelated press conference at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn. Do not leave it until the weekend. The Sanitation Department is currently hard at work transforming its fleet of garbage trucks into snow plows and loading up other rigs with salt to spread on the streets."

A potentially major winter storm is expected late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, with forecast models projecting as little as 3 inches to a foot or more of snow. An extreme cold snap will drop temperatures into the teens Friday night and keep them below freezing through at least next Wednesday. Roughly 2,000 sanitation workers will begin 12-hour shifts on Saturday morning, converting garbage trucks into plows and loading rigs with salt. Residents are advised to complete errands and prepare before the weekend.
