Sanitation officials said nearly 700 crews spanned across the five boroughs.
People woke up having to clean off their cars and shovel their walkways throughout the Tri-State area, with many areas across New York and New Jersey seeing upwards of three inches.

Although there wasn't much in terms of accumulation in the city, officials still urged cautions as the roads were still slick.
It was just the beginning of a very snowy weekend for the area, as a much larger weather event is expected to hit Sunday night into Monday.
Between three and six inches are predicted for most of New York City, with areas north and west of the city facing up to a foot of snow by Monday morning.
