A blizzard warning will be in effect beginning Sunday at 1 p.m. and continuing into Monday afternoon across the tristate area, with snowfall and road conditions that could greatly limit travel and disrupt normal life well into Tuesday, forecasters said.
The blizzard conditions will bring heavy snow, with accumulations of up to two feet expected, along with high winds and whiteout conditions that are expected to cause "dangerous to impossible travel" from Sunday night through Monday afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
Forecasters expect strong-to-damaging wind gusts Sunday night into Monday afternoon.
The blizzard "will be a rapidly strengthening storm," said Brian Frugis, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Albany.
'It's personal to me' The law would require businesses to have proper state licensing, prove that their employees are paid and ban staff from living at the spas or sleeping there overnight. Repeat offenders could face penalties up to $25,000. NewsdayTV's Shari Einhorn has more.
