New York braces for something it hasn't seen in years. A colossal winter storm is tracking toward the tri-state region this weekend, carrying with it the potential to dump up to 16 inches of snow across New York City and surrounding areas—a deluge that could rank as the biggest snowfall the region has experienced in nearly half a decade. The storm arrives at a moment when temperatures are already plummeting toward the single digits, creating conditions meteorologists describe as nothing short of dangerous.
Beginning in earnest Sunday afternoon and stretching through Monday morning, this system will test the infrastructure and patience of millions of residents already fatigued by winter's grip. For travellers, school administrators, and business owners, the implications are already becoming clear: prepare for chaos, or stay home.
