⚠️ NOW is the time to prepare. A Blizzard Warning begins Sunday morning and continues into Monday. Heavy snow, strong winds, and near whiteout conditions are expected, with the worst impacts Sunday night through Monday morning. What we're expecting: 🌨️ 13-17 inches of snow forecasted across the city, with the highest totals over southern portions of NYC closer to the storm's core. A 20-25% chance of a worst-case scenario bringing 20-23 inches. 🕕 Light snow expected to begin around 6 AM Sunday, gradually increasing after noon. Moderate snow by 6 PM, then rapidly intensifying. 🌀 Heaviest snowfall expected to be from 10 PM Sunday through 10 AM Monday, with rates easily exceeding 1.5 inches per hour—and potential bursts of 2-3 inches per hour. 💨 Sustained winds of 25-35 mph with gusts of 40-50 mph out of the north-northeast, increasing through Sunday and remaining dangerous through Monday evening. 📊 Forecast confidence is increasing, but details may still shift as the storm approaches. Regardless of exact totals, significant impacts are certain. Continue monitoring official sources for updates. 🚗 The Monday morning commute will be extremely hazardous. Peak snowfall rates and peak winds will coincide, creating slippery conditions, limited mobility, and near-zero visibility. Avoid traveling. ✈️ Air travel is expected be significantly impacted. Blizzard conditions typically cause widespread flight cancellations, delays, and ground stops at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. High winds, low visibility, and the need to clear runways and de-ice aircraft will disrupt operations Sunday night through Monday, with ripple effects lasting into Tuesday or beyond. If you have travel plans, check your flight status directly with your airline before heading to the airport. Contact your airline now about rebooking options. Do not wait at the airport; delays and cancellations can leave travelers stranded for hours. Build extra days of flexibility into your plans if possible. ✅ Prepare now—not Sunday: Finish errands and grocery shopping today (Saturday). Charge phones, tablets, and backup batteries. Stock medications, baby supplies, pet food, and essentials for 2-3 days. Check in with elderly neighbors or family members who may need support. If you rely on powered medical equipment, confirm your backup plan. Plan now to adjust travel, work, childcare, and caregiving plans. More tips: nyc.gov/beready and nyc.gov/winterweather 🏠 Need a warm place? Drop-in centers are open across the city: on.nyc.gov/dropincenters 🏫 Expect disruptions: Schools, childcare, medical offices, and workplaces may announce closures or delays for Monday. Build flexibility into your plans and monitor official channels for updates. 📲 Stay informed: Sign up for Notify NYC at nyc.gov/notifynyc and follow @NotifyNYC.

Today #LAGCC hosted the CUNY Queens Legislative Breakfast and shared with legislators and their representatives, CUNY FY27 budget priorities. Thank you for joining us and for all your past and continued support.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is not just about remembering the past, but hearing the pain it left behind. As a member of the Jewish Faith, I pause to commemorate the six million lives lost and reaffirm my commitment to remembrance, education, and opposing all hatred.

Please stay safe during the upcoming snowstorm. Con Edison is actively monitoring conditions and ready to respond. Report outages or flickering lights at 1-800-752-6633 or conEd.com. Our office is here to help residents navigate outage reporting and access support.

We celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion of the Civil Rights Movement. He advocated for economic justice and addressed disparities in healthcare & education in communities of color. We must carry on his legacy with us as we work towards a more just society.

The events of Thursday night in Kew Garden Hills have weighed heavily on me. I am disturbed and disgusted to see such blatant hatred targeting the Jewish community. We will take action in Albany to ensure that anti-Semitism has no refuge in New York. See my full statement:

Happy New Year! Wishing you a fantastic 2026!

I was deeply honored to present Seymour Schwartz with an official NYS Assembly Proclamation celebrating his 100th birthday and recognizing his lifetime of achievements, from service in World War 2 to his work for the betterment of our Queens communities. qns.com/2025/12/seymou…

Thank you to all our community partners for your support throughout the year. Great to be joined by @DavidWeprin. Thank you for your advocacy.

Tonight should have marked the joyful start of Chanukah, but our joy mingles with sadness as we mourn the lives lost to antisemitism in Australia. I will continue to fight for the safety of the Jewish Community, and I extend my sincere wishes for a safe and happy Chanukah to all.
