Put back on those snow boots, another winter storm is heading to New York City.

The National Weather Service has announced a Winter Weather Advisory, warning New Yorkers of expected snowfall of two inches, with local areas up to three inches.

According to the NWS, the snow is expected to begin around 5:00am, and continue through around 1:00pm Thursday.

Expected slippery road conditions has prompted NYC to announce a travel advisory and cancel Alternate side parking.

“As more snow heads our way, New Yorkers should prepare for slippery road conditions and a messy commute on Thursday,” said NYC Emergency Management Acting Commissioner Christina Farrell. “We urge New Yorkers to exercise caution. If you must travel, we encourage the use of mass transit and please allow for extra travel time.” 

The City’s Sanitation Department is pre-deploying over 700 salt spreaders to pretreat roadways ahead of the first snowflake and is prepared to dispatch plows in all sectors when more than two inches of snow accumulates.
