NYC Emergency Management has issued the following Alert: ...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM SUNDAY TO 6 PM EST MONDAY...
Confidence is increasing in a major coastal winter storm that will bring significant snowfall and strong winds to New York City.
Total snowfall is currently forecast around 13 to 17 inches, with higher totals possible in southern parts of the city. A lower chance remains for 20+ inch totals.
Snow is expected to begin Sunday morning around 6 AM, stay light early, then steadily intensify through the afternoon.
Moderate to heavy snow is likely starting around 6 PM Sunday, with the heaviest conditions expected overnight into Monday morning, especially between 10 PM Sunday and 10 AM Monday. Snowfall rates could exceed 1.5 inches per hour, with periods of 2 to 3 inches per hour possible.
Strong northeast winds will increase Sunday and remain dangerous through Monday evening, with sustained winds 25 to 35 mph and gusts up to 50 mph.
Widespread minor coastal flooding is expected, with a strong chance of moderate flooding along Jamaica Bay, Staten Island, the Battery, and parts of the Bronx and northern Queens.
Monday morning travel will be extremely hazardous due to heavy snow, strong winds, low visibility, and rapidly accumulating conditions. Plan now to adjust travel, work, childcare, and caregiving plans. More tips: nyc.gov/beready and nyc.gov/winterweather
Temperatures stay cold enough for accumulation through Monday, then rebound into the mid 40s later next week.

New York City winters, which often bring extreme cold, heavy snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain, can pose serious hazards.

Outstanding work by Volunteer EMT Matt Tirschwell, a member of our neighboring VAC, Gotham EMS. Matt's bravery, knowledge, and skills learned while volunteering led to his quick actions that undoubtedly saved this man's life. Not only is Matt an off-duty lifesaver, but he also is a frequent volunteer with Gotham EMS as well as an advocate and supporter of volunteer EMS throughout NYC.
