We will be reporting tonight from the most dangerous intersection outlined in this report. The owner of the 2023 Audi 6, ID’d as the most frequent speeder in the city, blew through a school zone at Ocean Parkway and Ocean Court in Coney Island 38 times.

[State Senator Andrew Gounardes @Sen_Gounardes]

My Stop Super Speeders Act is designed to address exactly this problem: it requires speed limiters be installed in the cars of those who refuse to drive safely and get 16+ speed tickets in a year.

It impacts a small number of drivers but will have an outsize impact on safety.

** TRAVEL BAN FOR NYC **

All bridges, highways, and streets will be closed to traffic from 9pm Sunday thru noon Monday. No cars, trucks, scooters, or e-bikes. Limited exemptions for essential and emergency movement.

This is projected to be NYC’s worst blizzard in a decade, with extremely dangerous conditions.

Please take this seriously. Stay home if at all possible.

[Rob Flaks @Rob_Flaks]

Already we are seeing 60 plus flight delays here at LGA and 7 cancellations according to Flightaware. That’s ahead of the blizzard that could bring up to 18 inches of snow through the city. @News12 @News12BK

Thank you to neighbors who flagged these issues and kept us informed. Proud of my team for escalating over a dozen dangerous snow and sanitation concerns—and grateful that @NYCSanitation cleared every single one. We’ll keep pushing to keep our streets safe.

🥶 NYC 7-Day Outlook:

This weekend’s wind chill is dangerous and life-threatening. Wind chills drop to subzero around -10°F to -12°F Saturday and Sunday.

Frostbite is possible in minutes. Limit time outdoors and cover all exposed skin. Exposed skin can freeze quickly. Numbness, pain, and loss of feeling are early warning signs, and can lead to permanent deep tissue damage, and in some of the worst cases if treatment is delayed, amputation.

Monday feels near freezing, with wind chills around 30°F. Cold remains a concern, especially in the morning and evening.

Tuesday feels closer to 15°F. Prolonged time outdoors can still be dangerous without proper layers and face protection.

Wednesday is the “warmest” day of the week, even though it stays below freezing. Wind chills rise into the mid to upper 20s. This is the best window for errands and outdoor tasks, but winter protection is still needed.

Thursday cools back to around 20°F, with biting winds making it feel colder at times.

Friday feels like the low to mid teens again, bringing renewed cold stress risks heading into next weekend.

Temperatures remain below freezing all week. Existing snow and ice will not melt and may refreeze overnight, creating slippery conditions.

Cold stress, frostbite, hypothermia, frozen pipes, and power disruption remain risks all week. Dress in layers. Cover hands, ears, and face. Check on older adults and neighbors. Call 311 if you see someone vulnerable who needs help, or to find the nearest warming center. You can also visit https://t.co/pJZpBzR8bT

NYC, now it's your moment to shine. Or, shovel!

The snow has officially stopped falling. Property owners MUST shovel their sidewalks. We will issue violations for those who fail to take action starting at 12:30 pm.

[Heather Fordham @heatherfordham_]

Mayor Mamdani and City Agencies are giving an update on the snow storm clean up efforts.

-Schools will be back in-person tomorrow
-DOT is responsible for clearing bus stops
-3 people were involuntarily brought out of the elements and into the hospital, says DSS.

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

NYC is now under a Travel Advisory and a Winter Weather Advisory. The City’s Winter Weather Emergency Plan has been activated.

Snow continues through the day and into the evening, with steadier snow possible this afternoon and evening. Snowfall rates generally range from 0.1 to 0.3 inches per hour, with brief periods up to 0.5 inches per hour. Total snowfall of 2.5 to 4 inches is forecast and likely across the city, with a low chance for higher totals.

Roads and sidewalks may become snow covered and slushy, with visibility occasionally reduced to around one half to one mile. Highs near 35 degrees today will drop quickly this evening, with wind chills falling into the low to mid teens overnight.

Cold temperatures will allow snow and slush to refreeze, increasing travel hazards.

Avoid unnecessary travel if possible. Use mass transit when you can and expect delays. Drivers should slow down, increase following distance, and watch for slick spots especially on bridges and ramps. Pedestrians should use caution on sidewalks and stairs. Check on older adults, people with disabilities, access, or functional needs and anyone without reliable heat. If you see anyone vulnerable outside who may need shelter, call 311.

Stay tuned for updates through @NotifyNYC by texting NotifyNYC to 692-692.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.

Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.

This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.
