New York Governor Kathy Hochul says parts of the state, including New York City and Long Island, could see 12 to 18 inches of snow.

The state also faces some of the coldest temperatures seen in years, so Hochul says people should hunker down and stay off the roads.

Top of mind for her is the December 2022 snowstorm in western New York, which killed more than 40 people.

Hochul says state employees will work remotely on Monday and is asking private employers to do the same.
