Winter Weather Alert: NYC Braces for Snowy Sunday

New York City is preparing for a snowy Sunday, with forecasts predicting up to 3 inches of snow. This winter weather alert comes just before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The city is urging residents to be cautious. Roads may become slippery due to a mix of snow, slush, and rain. On Saturday, about 1 inch of snow fell but did not stick around. The heaviest snowfall is expected early Sunday morning. Areas like eastern Queens and southeastern Brooklyn might see up to 4 inches. Mayor Mamdani advised people to stay off the roads if possible. If you must travel, plan for extra time and drive carefully.Temperatures are low, so snow is likely to stick around. Flakes are expected to start falling around 8 a. m. and last until noon, then return from 4 p. m. to 7 p. m. The Department of Sanitation is ready. They have spread salt and have plows on standby. They also have a new tracking system called Bladerunner 2. 0 to monitor their efforts. Flights at LaGuardia and JFK airports faced minor delays on Saturday afternoon. Travelers should check their flight statuses for any updates.
