The snowfall has mostly given way to rain, but New Yorkers should still be careful as the messy conditions outside are expected to refreeze as temperatures stay frigid through the evening commute.

All public schools around the city are open, along with after school programs.

However, all field trips are cancelled.

NY1 meteorologist John Davitt is expecting 3 to 6 inches of snow by the mid-morning hours, followed by rain that will wash away much of the accumulation.  The rain will then ease around noon time.

During the afternoon spotty rain showers will slowly turn back into snow showers, but no meaningful accumulation is expected at that point.

Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution as a refreeze is expected to happen during the evening and overnight hours.

The Sanitation Department already has about 1,600 snow plows and 500 salt spreaders on standby. Crews will be working 12-hour shifts until the snow is all cleaned up.

Mayor Bill de Blasio says the biggest threat will likely be ice on roads and sidewalks.

Alternate side parking and garbage collection are suspended for Monday.

City Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia says the department has a plan to accelerate collection of garbage and recycled items have been building up because of the recent storms.

"We're gonna just run our shifts on overtime to try and catch up with that material.  We know that people are holding a lot of cardboard and metal, glass, and plastic at this point," noted Garcia.

Neighborhoods with Monday recycling have gone as long as three weeks without any pickup.

Officials want you to stay out of the city's parks, because tree branches covered in ice may break off.

As always, call 311 if you have any problems with heat and hot water, and 911 for life-threatening emergencies.
