New York City Braces for Snowy Weekend Amid Frigid Temps
Residents of New York City can expect two chances to witness snowfall this holiday weekend, but don't count on it sticking around. According to forecasters at the National Weather Service, light snow flurries may fall on Saturday morning, leaving behind a dusting before transitioning into rain.
Meteorologist Bill Goodman predicts that areas north and west of Manhattan can see up to two inches of accumulation from these early flakes. However, the city's central temperature will be around 40s degrees Fahrenheit in the evening, with conditions drying out by nightfall.
A new storm system is set to bring more snow on Sunday evening, but its impact is uncertain at this point. Goodman notes that areas farther east, including Long Island and parts of New Jersey, could see a greater amount of snow accumulation due to the southerly track of the low-pressure system.
The city's Emergency Management agency is closely monitoring the forecast, advising residents to prepare for extreme cold through Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Residents are urged to don warm layers and protect exposed skin from the elements when outdoors, with officials recommending limiting outdoor time whenever possible.
If you spot someone in need of assistance due to frigid temperatures, dial 311 to report them. Forecasters expect temperatures to stay in the 30s on Sunday and Monday, but temperatures plummet to the low 20s by Tuesday, making it the coldest day of the weekend.

. But let's be real, the real hero here is the city's Emergency Management agency for keeping everyone safe and informed. They're literally saving lives over there! 
meanwhile though residents gotta take precautions stay warm and safe out there 40s degree temps ain't no joke 
but on a more serious note, it's always good to be prepared for emergencies so dialing 311 is a great idea
