New York City will see 6-11 inches of accumulated snow by morning, and it is expected to continue snowing all day. By Saturday, the city may see up to 17 inches, with wind gusts up to 50mph. The National Weather Service warns the wet, heavy snow has the potential to take down trees and powerlines and is more difficult to shovel.
Though streets and sidewalks are covered in inches of snow — as much as the blizzard earlier this month — the Dept. of Education says as of midnight that schools are scheduled to be open Friday.
PTA meetings, however, are canceled.
Some corporate offices are reported to be closed as well.
