Just when everyone thought warmer weather was headed their way, a second wave of the Polar Vortex has brought in snow Tuesday and Alex Sosnowski of AccuWeather says that New Yorkers can expect frigid weather all throughout the week.

Sosnowski also added, "The storm has the potential to strand motorists. Near-blizzard conditions will develop on part of Long Island late Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning."

And it looks like the MTA and Mayor de Blasio are right on the same page. The mayor has already told citizens of the near-blizzard conditions Tuesday.

"Tonight during rush hour, if you have the option of using mass transit, please use mass transit. If you do not need to go out tonight, do not go out. The fewer vehicles on the road, the better job the Sanitation Department can do," he said in a report by Gothamist.

Speaking of mass transit, the MTA has also warned commuters of impending delays and possible suspension. "Customers are reminded that as conditions worsen, some services will be delayed and may even be suspended," the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) says on its website.

"MTA Long Island Rail Road and MTA Metro-North will provide modified service today as the region digs out from yesterday's snow fall which ranged from light snow in the Lower Hudson Valley to more than a foot across Long Island and Coastal Connecticut," an update on the MTA website read.

Specifically, the Long Island Rail Road will be operating on a weekend schedule, which means that "there will be no train service on the West Hempstead Branch and between Greenport and Ronkonkoma" and that "limited bus service will operate in place of trains on the West Hempstead Branch and between Greenport and Ronkonkoma," reads the MTA update.

As for Metro-North Railroad, MTA notes that they will be operating regular service with possible delays and combinations.

"NYC Subway will operate regular service while street conditions will affect NYC Bus service," adds the MTA.
