DIY snow management on Fourth Street.
"Given that the same sanitation workers who pick up trash have been clearing the foot of snow and ice that fell last Sunday, we are about one day behind on collection, and we ask for patience from New Yorkers while we catch up," Department of Sanitation spokesman Josh Goodman told THE CITY. "We are prioritizing trash and compost — the stuff that can smell — over recyclables, but we are picking up all streams, all across the city, just on a slight delay," he added.
Snow develops from southwest to northeast after midnight, mixing with sleet and freezing rain by mid to late morning, before tapering as plain rain by afternoon. The coast and NYC metro will change to rain by late morning.
So there's a good chance of an ugly commute wherever you need to commute to.
After the snow ends Sun night, the main story will be arctic air through much of next week. Temps are likely to be well below freezing from late Sun night until Fri. Wind chills Mon night into early Tue -5 to -15°F and Tue into early Wed 0 to -10°F. See graphic for more. pic.twitter.com/WTmgW9952Y
