New York City has reopened roads and bridges to nonessential traffic, though travel in the area remains difficult as snow continues to fall across the region. Most of the city is reporting 16 to 19 inches (48.26 centimeters) of snow with more expected as the day progresses, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Monday. Despite lifting the travel ban, he encouraged residents to stay inside. “This is a city full of people who do not like to sit still. And yet as the snow continues to fall, and conditions remain dangerous, I am asking you to do just that,” Mamdani said at a press conference. “Turn on that crackling fireplace YouTube video, call that relative whose WhatsApp you haven’t responded to, make an enormous pot of soup and bring some to your neighbors upstairs, and above all, stay warm, stay inside, stay prepared and stay safe.” The mayor announced that public schools will reopen in person on Tuesday after being given a snow day on Monday. Private schools tend to follow the lead of the city’s department of education. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET WATCH HERE: Follow us on X: Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: Bloomberg Surveillance: Bloomberg Intelligence: Balance of Power: Bloomberg Businessweek: Listen on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app: Apple CarPlay: Android Auto: Visit our YouTube channels: Bloomberg Podcasts: Bloomberg Tel
