"Up to 17 inches of snow is expected across New York City and in a worst-case scenario, there could be nearly two feet of accumulation, according to a social media post from NYC Emergency Management. The city's mayor, Zohran Mamdani, on Saturday morning advised residents to "stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary." Throughout the storm, the snow is expected to be heavy and wet, and could come down as quickly as 2 inches per hour for many hours, according to the NWS."
