A winter storm warning is in effect for the city until 6 p.m. and the Sanitation Department has issued a snow alert.
Alternate side of the street parking rules are suspended again today, but drivers will have to feed the meters.
Garbage and recycling pickup will be delayed because of the snow.
The city’s Office of Emergency Management has issued a Hazardous Travel Advisory and is urging drivers and pedestrians to use caution on city streets and roads.
The MTA says its Cold Weather Plan is in effect, meaning there are service changes on some subway lines.

There are also reported delays on the 4, 5, 6, G, N and Q trains.
Bus service is running at 80 to 90 percent and some suspensions are possible.
