New Yorkers had a tease of spring over the weekend, but it didn’t last long. Winter weather is now expected to head into the Hudson Valley area Tuesday morning, making way for slippery commutes.

Dana Smith, commissioner of emergency response for Dutchess County, said the public works department and Emergency Operations Center will be working to clear roads and gather the latest information throughout the storm.

“Everyone should have a personal and family preparedness plan to make sure that initially, they can take care of themselves and not overwhelm emergency services and government agencies that are here to respond to the storm,” Smith said.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is also preparing for snow. People commuting on Metro-North trains to and from New York city should expect a modified but continuous schedule on Tuesday.

MTA leadership said trains and commuter railroads will be prepared to fight snow and ice.

“We want to be there tomorrow for anybody who needs to travel. But realistically speaking, we're probably not going to see as many people, so what we're trying to do is put together a schedule that maximizes the reliability of our system, but not having as many switching moves over certain switch locations that tend to get a little bit iced up over a storm like this,” said Cathy Rinaldi, president of Metro-North Railroad.

For New Yorkers that must travel on Tuesday, officials suggest building in extra time and making sure you’re prepared for winter weather.
