The relatively dormant winter is slated to unleash a record snowstorm along the tri-state area, and the Bronx is no exception. 

Estimates are that winter storm Juno, as its dubbed by the National Weather Center, will likely dump an unprecedented two feet of snow onto the Bronx. Roughly 48 hours before the snow is expected to hit, the National Weather Center issued several blizzard warnings. Snow will likely to fall at a rate of two to four inches per hours late Monday night to early Tuesday morning.

At a city Department of Sanitation garage, Mayor Bill de Blasio told New Yorkers to heed the warning on the impending blizzard. Bronxites also should consider limiting any outside work, and traverse the streets only if it needs to.

Schools throughout the city will remain open, said Mr. de Blasio, though he remained unsure if he’ll cancel schools Tuesday morning.

Other points to consider:

• The city Department of Education announced that all after school programs, PSAL and evening adult education programs will be canceled Monday. School field trips have either been canceled or postponed.

• MTA service will operate on a regular schedule thanks to some of the agency’s heavy-duty de-icers and snow throwers.

• Alternate side parking will be canceled Monday and Tuesday.

• The city Department of Buildings advises that any loose equipment at structures under construction be secured.

• The city Departments of Transportation and Sanitation have hired extra day laborers for manual shoveling on Monday.

• Roads will likely be covered in snow, though risky drivers can expect to see snowplows running up and down arterial streets and highways.

• The city Parks and Recreation Department warns Bronxites traveling through parks to watch for falling branches and slippery walkways.

City and state agencies have cobbled up a list of safety tips for Bronxites. For more information visit the state agency here and city agency here.
