NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) -- This weekend people around the tri-state area are waking up to another deep freeze, bringing frigid weather and icy streets.
Hector Batista, who lives in Warren, New Jersey, got up to four inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Batista is concerned that all the snow might turn into ice. He said that making sure that melted snow does not become ice sheets is not only important but personal.
“I’m just trying to keep it salted,” he continued, as he threw more salt pellets on his long, u-shaped driveway. “No ice, black ice, you know? Everyone’s scared of that.”
In the city, preventing slippery sidewalks is a top priority for many people. New York City agencies have tasked property owners with keeping their sidewalks clear. However, over 4,000 tickets have been dolled out to property owners for snow and ice on their sidewalks.
Despite the cold, many people in the tri-state area say they have a plan to handle the weather this weekend.
