Summary

  • New York City experienced its first blizzard since 2016, with snow totals reaching over 2 feet across the five boroughs.
  • Emergency measures, including Code Blue shelters and warming centers, are in place to assist residents.

Timeline

Con Edison crews continue to make repairs and restore power throughout the five boroughs, as well as into Westchester, Orange and Rockland counties. As of Tuesday morning, there are currently 1,550 customers without power.

The MTA issued the following statement: "There are ongoing changes to service on subways, buses, the LIRR, Metro-North Railroad, and Access-A-Ride because of the winter storm. Please use caution while traveling, and check service status before you go."

New York City public schools were opened on Tuesday for in-person learning, while private schools remained closed or transitioned to virtual learning as residents continue to dig out.

The highest snow totals were seen on Staten Island with over 25 inches, according to NBC 4 News.

Winter Storm Hernando inundated New York City and the tri-state area with heavy snowfall and strong winds Sunday night and Monday morning and afternoon.

Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the Northeast are without power. A travel ban has been extended through all NYC boroughs until noon on Monday.

Blizzard conditions are continuing in New York City on Monday as the city gets hit with several feet of snow.

Travel is limited to essential personnel.

The duration is from 9 pm Sunday through 12 pm Monday.

The NYC Emergency Management has issued a travel ban for all city streets, highways, and bridges.

Airlines canceled numerous flights to and from New York and Newark. The severe conditions will peak Sunday night into Monday morning and gradually improve by Monday afternoon.

The storm brings blizzard conditions, coastal flooding, heavy snow, and 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts. The National Weather Service placed nearly 54 million people under winter storm or blizzard warnings.

Forecasters expect up to two feet of snow from coastal New Jersey to Boston.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced earlier today that all New York City schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday February 23rd, due to the blizzard. Officials have not yet decided if schools will be reopened on Tuesday.

The city is hiring emergency snow shovelers ahead of the blizzard. Registration is open now at [nyc.gov/snow.](https://www.nyc.gov/snow) The city has activated more than 1,000 emergency snow shovelers ahead of the blizzard. To apply, report to your local sanitation garage between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. with required paperwork. Property owners must clear a four-foot path on sidewalks, including bus stops and curb ramps.

Officials are urging New Yorkers to stay inside and avoid driving during the peak of Sunday night's snowfall. A decision on in-person school on Monday will be announced by noon Sunday.

Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will operate on modified schedules on Monday, officials said. Some subway lines may run local only.

Minor to moderate coastal flooding is possible in Jamaica Bay, Staten Island and Lower Manhattan.

Sanitation crews have mounted plows and chains on over 2,200 vehicles. More than 700 salt spreaders are loaded and ready. Plows will deploy once snow reaches two inches. Garbage and recycling collection will likely be delayed at least one day while crews focus on snow response.

The city will deploy warming buses, hospital warming spaces, school warming centers, and mobile units providing food and supplies.

A Code Blue will be in place beginning at 4 p.m. No one will be denied shelter. Outreach teams will operate 24/7 across all five boroughs, officials said.

Temperatures will rise slightly above freezing before dropping into the low 20s. Snow will melt and refreeze, creating slick sidewalks and streets.

The Monday morning commute is expected to be extremely dangerous. Heavy snow and strong winds will reduce visibility and create icy roads.

Forecasters expect 13 to 17 inches of snow, with a chance that totals could reach 20 inches. Winds will intensify overnight Sunday, creating dangerous whiteout conditions.

Officials from New York City predict that the Big Apple will experience its first blizzard since 2016. Snow begins around 6 a.m. Sunday, with the heaviest snowfall expected Sunday night into Monday morning.

New Yorkers are encouraged to call 311 if they see someone who may need assistance. The city recently ended a prolonged 24/7 Code Blue during a deadly cold stretch. At least 18 people died outdoors during the extreme weather, according to officials.

During the Code Blue, no one seeking shelter will be turned away. Outreach teams will be canvassing the streets to assist people in need.

New York City will enter a Code Blue at 4 p.m. as temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. The alert will remain in effect through Friday at 8 a.m.

Winter Storm Hernando inundated New York City and the tri-state area with heavy snowfall and strong winds Sunday night and Monday morning and afternoon.

Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the Northeast are without power. A travel ban has been extended through all NYC boroughs until noon on Monday.

Blizzard conditions are continuing in New York City on Monday as the city gets hit with several feet of snow.

Travel is limited to essential personnel.

The duration is from 9 pm Sunday through 12 pm Monday.

The NYC Emergency Management has issued a travel ban for all city streets, highways, and bridges.

Airlines canceled numerous flights to and from New York and Newark. The severe conditions will peak Sunday night into Monday morning and gradually improve by Monday afternoon.

The storm brings blizzard conditions, coastal flooding, heavy snow, and 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts. The National Weather Service placed nearly 54 million people under winter storm or blizzard warnings.

Forecasters expect up to two feet of snow from coastal New Jersey to Boston.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced earlier today that all New York City schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday February 23rd, due to the blizzard. Officials have not yet decided if schools will be reopened on Tuesday.

The city is hiring emergency snow shovelers ahead of the blizzard. Registration is open now at [nyc.gov/snow.](https://www.nyc.gov/snow) The city has activated more than 1,000 emergency snow shovelers ahead of the blizzard. To apply, report to your local sanitation garage between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. with required paperwork. Property owners must clear a four-foot path on sidewalks, including bus stops and curb ramps.

Officials are urging New Yorkers to stay inside and avoid driving during the peak of Sunday night's snowfall. A decision on in-person school on Monday will be announced by noon Sunday.

Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will operate on modified schedules on Monday, officials said. Some subway lines may run local only.

Minor to moderate coastal flooding is possible in Jamaica Bay, Staten Island and Lower Manhattan.

Sanitation crews have mounted plows and chains on over 2,200 vehicles. More than 700 salt spreaders are loaded and ready. Plows will deploy once snow reaches two inches. Garbage and recycling collection will likely be delayed at least one day while crews focus on snow response.

The city will deploy warming buses, hospital warming spaces, school warming centers, and mobile units providing food and supplies.

A Code Blue will be in place beginning at 4 p.m. No one will be denied shelter. Outreach teams will operate 24/7 across all five boroughs, officials said.

Temperatures will rise slightly above freezing before dropping into the low 20s. Snow will melt and refreeze, creating slick sidewalks and streets.

The Monday morning commute is expected to be extremely dangerous. Heavy snow and strong winds will reduce visibility and create icy roads.

Forecasters expect 13 to 17 inches of snow, with a chance that totals could reach 20 inches. Winds will intensify overnight Sunday, creating dangerous whiteout conditions.

Officials from New York City predict that the Big Apple will experience its first blizzard since 2016. Snow begins around 6 a.m. Sunday, with the heaviest snowfall expected Sunday night into Monday morning.

New Yorkers are encouraged to call 311 if they see someone who may need assistance. The city recently ended a prolonged 24/7 Code Blue during a deadly cold stretch. At least 18 people died outdoors during the extreme weather, according to officials.

During the Code Blue, no one seeking shelter will be turned away. Outreach teams will be canvassing the streets to assist people in need.

New York City will enter a Code Blue at 4 p.m. as temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. The alert will remain in effect through Friday at 8 a.m.
