Sanitation Dept Issues Snow Alert for Sunday, January 19, at 7 a.m.

NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has issued a snow alert for Sunday, Jan. 19, beginning at 7 a.m. and continuing until 2 a.m. Monday. A snow alert is the department’s “higher level” snow-fighting notification, as opposed to the “lower level” winter operations advisory. DSNY officials said that while there have been several winter operations advisories issued this winter already, this is the first storm to warrant a snow alert.
