The national meteorological service has published "Special Weather", which looks like a special show after school on the dangers of becoming addicted to ice cubes. They say that heavy snow, with snow rates between 1 and 2 inches per hour, should last about an hour, then begin to slack off as rush hour approaches.
De Blasio added in a tweet"The heaviest snow will fall between 15:00 and 18:00 with a potentially rapid build-up, the snow will turn to rain in the evening, so the roads will be slippery during rush hours." Use caution. "

If you can not appreciate the joy of the first snows of the season because you mostly worry about your softened ride tonight, you can get out of your cocoon of cynicism by trying to see the world through the eyes of one. other. Think how exciting it must be (or confusing?) For Mandarin Patinkin:
The famous mandarin duck from New York spends this day of snow at the pond of Central Park. ❄️ If you go there, do not forget to admire it from afar and not to feed it or any other wildlife in the park. #First snow pic.twitter.com/aM4xcs3EEg

Update, 5:30 pmThey were not joking about the messy drive home. The Bayonne Bridge was closed in both directions and multiple accidents were reported on the George Washington Bridge, blocking upper-level eastbound lanes.
Here's a look at the #GWB, where today #snow storm caused multiple accidents, resulting in the closure of the upper deck level. #Sembrevembre https://t.co/9ZVfyXl7iK (via @CitizenApp_NYC) pic.twitter.com/hxJd71fSVt

The subway … is not much better:
Train 7 to Grand Central right now. Not on the picture: a huge line of people climbing the stairs can not get space on the platform. Amazon will like it here! pic.twitter.com/bbO4j0XccF

There are also many trees down the city, including on Sullivan Street:
"It's not safe to walk the streets of SoHo!" said Todd Thurman, who took the video above. "I'm sure there will be more members, and maybe trees, that will fall, it's a chaos on Sullivan Street."
