inches of snowfall as of 7 a.m.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared a state of emergency and closed streets, highways and bridges to most traffic after 9 p.m. Sunday until noon Monday. The Long Island Rail Road suspended service at 1 a.m. and Metro-North trains are running on a weekend schedule. Flight cancellations are piling up at the area’s three main airports and the Staten Island Ferry moved to a modified schedule.
The city saw a wintry mix of snow and rain that intensified overnight. That snowfall was accompanied by strong wind.
Mamdani declared a snow day for the city’s public schools, a shift from when he announced a remote-learning day during the last winter storm in January. He encouraged kids to “stay cozy” inside until the peak of the weather has passed before sledding or playing in the snow. Columbia University pivoted to remote learning. Getting around the city without public transit won’t be easy. Streets are closed to most cars, trucks, electronic bikes and scooters, though there are exceptions for emergency vehicles and essential workers. DoorDash, a food delivery app, suspended operations starting 30 minutes before the city’s travel ban went into effect, according to a spokesperson for the company.
