New York City remains under a state of emergency, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during an afternoon news briefing. Crews have been busy since the start of the storm, working to clear streets, according to Mamdani. About 2,600 sanitation employees are staffing each shift, and 2,300 plows are helping clear snow, he said. “I continue to encourage all non-emergency traffic — cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes — to remain off the roads. We are plowing streets and doing everything we can to keep our roadways clear so that emergency vehicles can get through,” Mamdani said. In a message posted on social media, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she had lifted a ban that had been in effect since 9 p.m. Sunday. However, the Democratic governor said, “We still strongly urge residents to stay off the roads and stay inside,” citing the ongoing snowfall and dangerous conditions. Snow fell at a rate of 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 centimeters) an hour early Monday from New York through Massachusetts. Some areas have gotten well over a foot (30 centimeters) of snow since Sunday, along with wind gusts of over 30 mph (48 kph) and low visibility. The nor’easter quickly intensified to easily qualify as a “bomb cyclone” and featured thundersnow and lightning — two things rarely seen in snowstorms. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
