The powerful winter storm that battered the Tri-State area cleared out of New York and Mew Jersey by Monday morning, but forecasters warned that the region is now facing an extended stretch of dangerously cold weather.
Snowfall totals from the system ranged between 8 and 12 inches across New York City. Central Park recorded 11.4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
Air travel remained heavily disrupted as the city began recovery efforts. More than 1,200 flights were canceled at local airports on Monday, following over 3,000 cancellations the day before.
City officials said cleanup operations were continuing around the clock. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said thousands of sanitation workers were still clearing roadways, with the administration aiming to restore regular city operations by Tuesday.
“Our goal is for all services to be fully restored by tomorrow, with all streets cleared, students back at school in person, and our city back to normal, albeit with a lot of snow piled up,” he said during a morning briefing at City Hall.
Later in the day, the mayor confirmed that New York City public schools would reopen Tuesday for in-person instruction, with all classes, programs, and activities proceeding as scheduled.
Even as snow removal continued, bitter cold had already settled over the region. Gov. Kathy Hochul warned that the frigid conditions would persist for more than a week.
“This Arctic siege on our state is unrelenting and will continue for the next nine days,” the governor said in an interview with 1010 WINS.
“There will not be a single part of New York that goes above freezing temperature for nine days,” the governor said. “And that’s what we have to anticipate, prepare for.”
Temperatures on Monday reached a high of 28 degrees, with RealFeel readings in the teens. Overnight lows are forecast around 12 degrees, with wind chills near zero.
The deep freeze is expected to intensify through the rest of the week, with daytime highs hovering near 20 degrees from Tuesday through Friday and continuing into the weekend.

I don’t get it. Sam Darnold stank terribly as the starting quarterback of the Jets. Now, suddenly after joining the Seahawks, the media is making him out to be better than Joe Montana and Dan Marino put together. I mean, seriously?
Adam Gase, the quarterback whisperer, is no longer in the NFL in an official capacity. The media-crity has to sell advertising and fairytales can come true, it could happen to you.
