The snow will beging Friday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings, watches and advisories for portions of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Vermont for Friday.
Forecasters project between two and four inches of snow across the greater New York City area, with heavier amounts of snow expected over eastern sections of Long Island.
The wintry weather comes as New York instituted a series of changes in the aftermath of the Christmas weekend storm that dumped several feet of snow on the region, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday.
John Doherty, the chief of the sanitatino department, has made management and personnel shake-ups in Brooklyn following sharp criticism for the city's slow reaction to the holiday blizzard.
That response has prompted an investigation into whether sanitation workers intentionally delayed clean-up efforts over frustrations of demotions and citywide budget cuts.
