Mayor says city ready for next storm, predicted this weekend
Warns of blood shortage, plans to donate
As the city dug out from under its third major snowfall on Wednesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio assured New Yorkers that the city had stockpiled enough salt and other resources for the next storm, predicted to hit this weekend.
“We believe things will be concentrated on Sunday and Monday, but we’re planning for two days of major storm, and we have the salt reserve necessary for that,” he said.
Two vastly different scenarios for Sunday’s winter weather have not yet gelled into a dependable forecast. One calls for just a couple of inches of snow arriving Sunday and continuing into Monday, with two weak storms sucking the mojo out of each other.
