Oh, Look…Snow. Alternate Side Parking Suspended Monday

Here we snow again.

The city is under a Winter Storm Warning until 7pm Monday, with 5 to 8 inches of heavy, wet snow on tap. Flash forward to Tuesday night, and the National Weather Service is calling for “2 to 4 inches of additional snow, along with ice accretion of a tenth to quarter of an inch of ice.”

Translation: it’s going to be a messy week.

We’re all familiar with the rest. Alternate side parking has been suspended for Monday, February 3, but meters are still in effect, so don’t forget to feed the Muni. The NYC.gov website says that garbage and recycling pickup are on schedule, but the trash in front of our building is quickly getting buried in snow, so we’re betting there will be some delays with neighborhood collections today.

The MTA has noted that a combination of track conditions due to this morning’s snow and a power outage on the Manhattan Bridge are messing up travel on the B, Q, N, and R trains, as well as buses. Additionally, a rail condition at Grand Street has been fixed, but it’s causing residual delays to northbound B and D trains between DeKalb Av and W 4 St-Washington Square.

The MTA suggests transferring to the 2, 3, 4, or 5 at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center to get into the city.

All school field trips and after school programs have been cancelled for Monday, but NYC Public schools are otherwise operating on a regular schedule.

As always, stay safe out there today, South Slope. If you happen to snap any picture of our snowy neighborhood, be sure to send them to editor@bklyner.com, and we’ll post them on the site.
