Blizzard Threatens New York City, East Coast

January 26, 2015 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

winterstormNEW YORK – A major snowstorm that could result in historic snow totals is ready to slam into the New York City area. As a result, Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued a travel advisory for the southeastern region of the state and is urging commuters to consider staying at home today.

The major winter storm is expected to hit the Long Island, New York City and Mid-Hudson regions beginning later today. It’s expected to dump 4 inches of snow an hour and create zero visibility conditions. As a result, roads including the Thruway, I-84 and the Long Island Expressway, and public transit networks including the LIRR, PATH, Metro North Railroad, and MTA Subways and Buses may be closed ahead of the evening commute.

The Governor is urging commuters to work from home Monday if possible, or otherwise plan to leave work early Monday midday.

The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for the “potentially historic” storm in many areas in the region effective Monday at 1 p.m., as well as increased the snow accumulation and wind speed forecast. As of Sunday evening, the National Weather Service expects general snowfall from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet with local amounts in excess of 3 feet, and wind gusts that may reach up to 65 MPH. Snow may fall at a rate of up to 4 inches per hour and visibility may be reduced to zero.
