Get out now while you still have the chance!
A blizzard warning has been issued for New York City and much of the tri-state area beginning at midnight Tuesday as Winter Storm Stella threatens to dump as much as 18 inches of snow.
Whiteout conditions are expected to make travel extremely dangerous and power outages are likely amid crippling wind gusts of 20 to 40 mph, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tom Kines.
New Yorkers stockpile supplies as massive snowstorm looms.
“Travel will be poor at best, if not impossible,” Kines told The Post on Monday. “If you have the option tomorrow of staying put, I would definitely recommend that. And if you try to fly by air tomorrow, forget it — not happening.”
The blizzard warning — which will be in effect for 24 hours — will cover New York City and Long Island as well as Fairfield, Westchester, Rockland, Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Union, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Snow will begin around 3 a.m. and continue throughout Tuesday before tapering off in the evening, Kines said.
The city is expected to get at least a foot of snow and 16 to 18 inches could get dumped on western and northwestern areas of the city. Eastern Long Island could be spared with just 6 to 8 inches.

Already made arrangements with shovel guys :)
And they’re American.
Leave NOW! Take up short-term residence with you cousins in Buffalo or Watertown NY! Telecommute to your Manhattan job!
Friggin’ snowflakes!
Stella?
Stellaaaaa!!
LOL! Wow, talk about good timing, I was just doing a search on this to see if anybody posted it. It seems now it’s going to wimp out, what I’m hearing is it’s going to be rain/snow then rain.
Hype to sell remaining salt and snow shovels and to empty the store shelves of food.
A Christmas like sales splurge in a geographic region of the USA.
A March winter storm is going to slam New York City. I don’t recognize this naming of winter storms. Wasn’t this naming convention put forth by that purveyor of climate change, The Weather Channel?
I have my own shovel, 4wd if I need to go out, and the last couple of storms have pretty much fizzled here. I need beer, though.
No, no, no.
I would propose Snowpalooza for this one. And Snowarama for the one after that.
Are you kidding? Mexicans had the nerve to get greedy and up their prices!! :)
Wouldn’t use them if it was 10 bucks.
I’m my own shovel “guy”.
And yes, I’m American.
More drama queens wet dreams from the Weather Channel?
Those jerks are almost always wrong.
Blue skies and a sunny 68 degrees here in San Antonio.
A blizzard with 18 inches? Along with DeBlasio, Hillary, Cuomo, and other Rats. How does one stand living there?
FAKE NEWS!! Impossible, Runaway Global Warming has doomed us to a Country that will NEVER see Snow Again.
I’m fat.
You don’t want a FReeper dying, do you?
It’s my fault I got fat, but that doesn’t change the fact that i’ll drop dead if i shovel 20 inches!!! :)
Oh no!
I’ve never seen snow here in the north.
I’m leaving the planet or move to Canada.
