Freezing rain and snow are predicted for New York City and surrounding areas today and Monday, with the National Weather Service (NWS) issuing a Winter Weather Advisory for some areas surrounding the city.
The NWS advises that there may be a light snow accumulation to portions of the region this morning into this afternoon. Precipitation is likely to change to all rain this evening into Monday morning, before potentially changing back to snow Monday afternoon into Monday night with another light snow accumulation possible. A period of wintry mix will be possible as well.
While normal operations are anticipated on campus for Monday, expect conditions that could impact travel for the Sunday morning/afternoon and Monday afternoon/evening timeframes. Be sure to check the Columbia Transportation website for changes or delays to University shuttles, and refer to the Columbia Preparedness site for possible Morningside campus gate closures on Monday.
The Emergency Management Operations Team is monitoring the situation and will keep you updated by email and/or text as well as via the University homepage, the Columbia Preparedness site and the Medical Center Operations site should new information become available that impacts you or our campus.
Use mass transit when at all possible, and exercise extreme caution when traveling during the storm.
