NEW YORK - A winter weather system dropped more snow and freezing rain on the New York metropolitan area on Tuesday. This snowfall was modest compared to the snowstorm that hit the area last week. But snow and freezing rain are creating hazardous conditions on the roads.
Forecasts indicated that areas north and west of New York City could get up to 6 inches but those accumulations haven t been reported as of Tuesday evening.
The National Weather Service on Monday issued a Winter Weather Advisory for several counties in northeast New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and southeast New York for Tuesday but later canceled it.
As a result restaurants are ordered to be closed to outdoor dining starting at 2pm to protect the safety of patrons.
The city will notify restaurants, which are already closed to indoor dining due to surging coronavirus cases, when they can reopen for roadway seating. Based on the current forecast, the City estimates that this Snow Alert will be over on Thursday evening, allowing restaurants to reopen, but this may change to the morning of Friday, December 18 based on actual accumulations and roadway conditions, the city s sanitation department said Monday. At this time, the City is not asking that restaurants remove any barriers or structures for roadway dining, the department added.
