New York City is bracing for a potentially historic winter storm, as declared by the National Weather Service (NWS), leading to a citywide travel ban starting at 9 p.m. on Sunday. The storm is expected to bring widespread snowfall totals of one to two feet across the tri-state area, with some locations possibly seeing up to three feet, potentially breaking existing daily snowfall records at major airports and Central Park. Blizzard warnings are in effect for the entire forecast area, including Orange and Putnam counties. Coastal flooding is also a concern, with a storm surge of 2.5 to 3.5 feet anticipated along certain bays during Sunday night's high tide.
