[Bethstuebben](http://instagram.com/p/i1IndIS-7f/?ref=bklyner.com)‘s photo gives us a preview of tomorrow, which is expected to reach about 16°F because of a [polar vortex](http://gothamist.com/2014/01/06/polar%5Fvortex%5Fto%5Fbring%5Fnear-record%5Fc.php?ref=bklyner.com) hitting our area. Here’s what you should know:

- The [DOT](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/home/home.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) and [DSNY](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/home/home.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) have announced they’ll be extending the suspension of alternate side parking rules through Tuesday, January 7, due to forthcoming icy conditions.
- Meters will remain in effect throughout the city, and extra crews are out to pick up trash and recycling.
- You can stay safe and warm [with these tips](/blog/weather/parking-regulations-subway-changes-safety-tips-more-for-the-approaching-storm).
