🚨 Blizzard Warnings are in effect for Long Island, all five boroughs of NYC, Westchester and Rockland counties, and coastal Connecticut along with most of NJ.

A Blizzard Warning means winds or gusts will hit or exceed 35 mph along with blowing snow, with visibility knocked down to 1/4 mile or less for three hours or more.

The worst of the storm arrives late Sunday afternoon and lasts through sunrise Monday. Snowfall rates could reach 2-3 inches per hour, with strong winds creating whiteout conditions – especially along the coast. The storm’s central pressure off the coast will rival that of a category 2 or 3 hurricane.
