A massive nor’easter slamming the New York City area Monday morning has already dumped 5.3 inches of snow as measured in Central Park as of 7 a.m., the National Weather Service said.
Another foot or more of snow is expected.
The city declared a state of emergency from 6 a.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday, with only essential or emergency vehicle travel permitted. The MTA said it was moving to local subway service only following the morning rush hour, but there were no immediate plans to suspend above-ground trains.
New Yorkers should expect heavy snow intermittent throughout the day with a particular heavy patch starting later Monday morning and extending into the afternoon. Winds will also be picking up to 20 to 30 mph in the city with gusts of 40 mph.
