As per NYC Mayor’s Office; ALL NON-EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE BANNED FROM OPERATING ON NYC ROADWAYS AS OF 11:00PM TONIGHT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. — James P. O’Neill (@NYPDChiefofDept) January 26, 2015
I urge all of our residents to stay off of the roads unless it is absolutely necessary,” said St. Lawrence. “With blizzard-like conditions expected, all non-essential travel should be avoided and our residents should ideally stay at home and avoid driving. I encourage everyone to make certain that they are prepared for possible power outages due to the forecast of strong winds and heavy snow, which could potentially pull down trees and power lines.”
