Dear colleagues,

New York City Emergency Management has issued a travel advisory for Friday evening, December 26 into Saturday, December 27. A winter weather system is expected to bring accumulating snow this weekend, potentially creating hazardous travel conditions during a busy holiday travel period. The National Weather Service (NWS) has forecasted 3 to 7 inches of snow with locally higher amounts possible.

Snow is expected to develop Friday afternoon and intensify into steady, accumulating snow Friday night, with several inches of snowfall expected citywide. Snow is likely to taper off Saturday morning, though lingering flurries may persist. Cold temperatures through Friday night and Saturday will limit snowmelt, increasing the risk of slippery and hazardous road conditions.

The United Nations Headquarters complex will remain open. However, staff are advised to take travel conditions into account before travelling. Subject to exigencies of service, managers should exercise their discretion in allowing staff to telecommute. This does not apply to staff supporting, directly or indirectly, the ongoing deliberations of the 80th session of the General Assembly, in particular the Fifth Committee, who may be required to continue working as needed.

Staff are reminded to exercise caution and to continue to monitor weather conditions.

Best regards,

Department of Operational Support (DOS)
