As reported by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brooklyneagle.com\/363722\/hunker-down-nycs-huge-snow-clearing-operation-is-underway\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mary Frost in the Eagle<\/a>, 10.5 inches had fallen in Williamsburg by 4:30 pm today. As the\u00a0Eagle\u00a0story tells, residents with their shovels, the city, and the MTA were quick to respond. The Department of Sanitation pre-salted roads, and plowing began at 8:30 am. The MTA put snow chains on the tires of buses, which are \u201cprepared to pick up any slack\u201d if above ground portions of the subway s ystem are affected. Riders are encouraged to check the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mta.info\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MTA website<\/a>\u00a0for the latest information. Tomorrow (Monday, January 26) we are advised to \u201chunker down\u201d as the winter storm warning stays in effect until noon and roads will be considered dangerous all day. City schools will be closed, but students in elementary schools are expected to attend classes remotely. Students in middle and high schools are not affected, as those schools were scheduled to be closed for a \u201cprofessional development day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As noted in the photo above, courtesy of Mary Frost and the\u00a0Eagle, some kids were able to enjoy the snow.<\/p>\n<p>Share this Story:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Twitter\" class=\"option1_32\" style=\"background-position:-288px -32px\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Snowstorm%20Blasts%20Brooklyn%20Heights%3B%20Residents%2C%20City%2C%20and%20MTA%20Quick%20to%20Respond%20-%20http%3A%2F%2Fbrooklynheightsblog.com%2Farchives%2F102581%20  \"><a title=\"Facebook\" class=\"option1_32\" style=\"background-position:-96px 0px\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbrooklynheightsblog.com%2Farchives%2F102581&amp;t=Snowstorm%20Blasts%20Brooklyn%20Heights%3B%20Residents%2C%20City%2C%20and%20MTA%20Quick%20to%20Respond\"><a title=\"Reddit\" class=\"option1_32\" style=\"background-position:-128px -32px\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbrooklynheightsblog.com%2Farchives%2F102581&amp;title=Snowstorm%20Blasts%20Brooklyn%20Heights%3B%20Residents%2C%20City%2C%20and%20MTA%20Quick%20to%20Respond\"><a title=\"Tumblr\" class=\"option1_32\" style=\"background-position:-256px -32px\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share?v=3&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fbrooklynheightsblog.com%2Farchives%2F102581&amp;t=Snowstorm%20Blasts%20Brooklyn%20Heights%3B%20Residents%2C%20City%2C%20and%20MTA%20Quick%20to%20Respond&amp;s=As%20predicted%2C%20Brooklyn%20Heights%20and%20the%20entire%20Tri-State%20Area%20received%20heavy%20snow%20today%2C%20which%20may%20continue%20into%20tomorrow%20morning.%20As%20reported%20by%C2%A0Mary%20Frost%20in%20the%20Eagle%2C%2010.5%20inches%20had%20fallen%20in%20Williamsburg%20by%204%3A30%20pm%20today.%20As%20the%C2%A0Eagle%C2%A0story%20t\"><a title=\"email\" class=\"option1_32\" style=\"background-position:-160px 0px\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;to&amp;su=Snowstorm%20Blasts%20Brooklyn%20Heights%3B%20Residents%2C%20City%2C%20and%20MTA%20Quick%20to%20Respond&amp;body=http%3A%2F%2Fbrooklynheightsblog.com%2Farchives%2F102581&amp;ui=2&amp;tf=1&amp;shva=1\"><a class=\"option1_32\" style=\"cursor:pointer;background-position:-128px 0px\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Add to favorites -
