New Yorkers can expect delays in their holiday travel as well as hazardous travel conditions during the snowfall. City agencies are preparing for the storm in an effort to prevent major travel issues and power outages. New Yorkers are advised to limit travel and stay inside during periods of severe weather, but if you must travel, utilize mass transit when possible and exercise caution.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs New Yorkers continue to celebrate the holidays and prepare to celebrate the new year, they should also prepare for hazardous travel conditions Friday into Saturday,\u201d said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. \u201cNew York City agencies have been coordinating and are prepared for the winter weather system, and we continue to monitor conditions closely. New Yorkers should all prepare \u2014 avoid driving if possible and give yourself extra travel time with public transit if you do need to travel, stay alert to changing conditions, and sign up for Notify NYC for real-time information updates. Thank you to the tireless public servants who are keeping us safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
To prepare for the storm, NYCEM has activated the City\u2019s Winter Weather Emergency Plan. The city\u2019s Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will issue a Snow Alert and is pre-deploying hundreds of salt spreaders to pretreat roadways ahead of the snowfall, with plows at the ready to deploy citywide as needed. During a Snow Alert, DSNY coordinates closely with NYCEM and the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) to carry out snow-clearing operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany New Yorkers will be traveling or spending time with friends and family this holiday weekend,\u201d said NYCEM Commissioner Zach Iscol. \u201cI want to thank the sanitation crews, emergency managers, and city workers who will be out in the cold, through Christmas and this holiday weekend, preparing for and responding to these conditions. Snow Friday night into Saturday may make travel hazardous, so we\u2019re asking New Yorkers to plan ahead, limit travel when possible, and give our crews room to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis forecast calls for snow during what is already a heavy travel weekend. DSNY began our operations well in advance of this storm, and we are ready for whatever comes our way \u2013 but please stay off the roads, and know that collection delays are possible as we work to get roads safe and clear,\u201d said Javier Lojan, Acting Commissioner, NYC Sanitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Group of people shoveling snow from a sidewalk in front of a public school during a winter storm…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":473124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,6231,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,24672,71178,194461,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-473123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-national-weather-service","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkcity","14":"tag-ny","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-pm-newsletter","17":"tag-snow","18":"tag-snow-storm","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa","25":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115786725901959489","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
