NEW YORK (PIX11) – In anticipation of a wintry mix heading to New York City, the Department of Sanitation is warning New Yorkers to stay off the roads.
Sanitation workers will start treating the streets at 2 p.m. for incoming rain and snow as temperatures are expected to stay or be a little bit above freezing. That could make roadways slippery and slushy if left untreated, according to DSNY.
