NEW YORK (PIX11) – A travel advisory has been issued in New York City as a winter storm is expected to dump up to 10 inches of snow across the tri-state area on Friday.
The city’s winter weather response plan has also been activated for Friday night through Saturday, according to New York City Emergency Management. Sanitation crews are pre-treating roads, loading salt spreaders, and readying snowplows to clear streets and bike lanes as conditions worsen.
A winter storm warning will go into effect at 4 p.m. in New York City, Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey. At least 4 to 8 inches of snow is expected in areas under the warning, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow will continue through Saturday morning, before temperatures drop to the 20s.
Mayor Eric Adams is urging New Yorkers to avoid driving if possible and rely on public transit instead. NJ Transit warned that service may change as the snow rolls in and it’s the passenger’s duty to check.
Officials said if you must travel, keep an emergency kit in your car, including a flashlight, food and water.
