On Spring Day Meteorologists predict 15 inches of snow
The New York City schools to close as meteorologists predict could drop up to 15 inches of snow.
Mayor de Blasio said on press conference that public schools will be closed Wednesday due to the expected nor’easter — the fourth this month — that could bring as much as 15 inches of snow and wind gusts as high as 45 mph.
“We’ve got some very unpredictable weather about to hit us,” de Blasio told reporters Tuesday.
“It is the first day of spring officially and yet I’m about to tell you about a big snowstorm that’s hitting,” he added. “This proves what I’ve said for a long time — never trust groundhogs. They will always lead you wrong.”
“Travel will be very difficult to impossible, including during the evening commute on Wednesday,” the National Weather Service cautioned.
A winter storm warning for portions of northeast New Jersey and southeast New York was issued for midnight Tuesday to 8 a.m. Thursday.
