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.

Naming winter storms is BS. Historically winter storms were always referred to by their date.
On a few weather sites. This one says it’s starting as rain/snow then by 11am it will be rain. It don’t look like 24 hours of snow to me like they were saying

>>Leave NOW! Take up short-term residence with you cousins in Buffalo <<
Who ever thought we would hear advice about taking shelter in Buffalo FROM the snow?!
This isn’t even close to the biggest New York news. Trump fired Obama’s U.S. Attorney! It’s the end of the world as we know it!
Al Gore is nowhere to be found for comment.
That would be winter storm Skeeter:)
Wow, it’s never snowed on the East Coast before.
I stopped in to see my boss today. He just moved to Baltimore and this will be his first bout with Baltimorons and bad weather.
I warned him that everyone gets scared and stupid. Stores are already emptied of toilet paper, milk and bread.
Apparently these people don’t realize the snow will be melting by Thursday. I haven’t cancelled my weekend camping plans.
We are under a blizzard warning here in Bucks County Pa.
HUGH AND SERIES!!!
My first thought, too when I saw the thread title.
Stellaaaaa!!
Thanks
Here’s hoping your power does not go out, and all goes well for you. We have relatives near Hartford, CT. Looks like they are expecting 1 to 2 feet there, starting early tomorrow.
Come on over. I finally caved and put on the AC today. It’s bleeping hot.
The snow itself will not be that critical, it will be the subsequent flooding with the snow melt that will achieve the most catastrophic part of this severe weather.
"I coulda used a front-loada"
YES!! :)
But since I’d like to see at least my 60th birthday 11 years away, I better get moving, literately and figuratively!
Have a good one FRiend and good luck out there!
