Following the blanketing of snow in the area on Friday, the Weather Service noted that the air and roadway temperatures were near or below the freezing mark, adding that commuting had become “treacherous.”

In the New York region, winter weather advisories has warned that more severe conditions were in place for Suffolk County on Long Island, Middlesex County in New Jersey, and New London County in Connecticut.

During a weather forecast, the National Weather Service warned that the Washington area, which was slammed days ago with more than eight inches of snow, was expected to get another round.

According to officials, federal offices in Washington have been shut down.

Some schools, on Friday, also adjusted their operations as the Washington mayor, Muriel Bowser, declared the closure of schools due to the storm.
