NEW YORK (PIX11) -- New York and New Jersey were covered in a blanket of snow overnight Saturday, with up to 5 inches dropping in some areas.
New Yorkers are urged to exercise caution during their morning commutes on Monday, as below-freezing temperatures can lead to slippery road conditions and patchy black ice on untreated surfaces.
Overnight temperatures will drop into the high 20s, but wind gusts will make it feel like the teens. A Code Blue has been issued in New York City until 8 a.m.
Shelters and drop-in centers will be available city-wide for the homeless and those seeking shelter. No one will be denied shelter during a Code Blue.
The NYCDHS will deploy outreach teams to assist homeless individuals. If you encounter a homeless person in the cold, please call 311, and an outreach team will be sent to that location.
More information on homeless assistance can be found online or on the 311 app.
