UPDATE: Don Pedro has canceled all bands tonight and will have a DJ set instead.While our show in Brooklyn is still scheduled to go on, we have decided that it’s simply not safe for us to try and make the journey down. We really hate canceling more than anything else in the entire universe. We’ve been keeping a close watch on the weather, hoping for it to clear up enough for us to make the journey, but there are already significant reports of flooding, downed trees, and other obstacles along our path. The latest weather off the wire suggests that travel will be extremely dangerous or impossible. We feel bad and sad, but we feel that it increases the probability that we will live until at least Monday and you all know how much we love Mondays! We hope that you will all forgive us and we very much hope to see you in the near future!
The latest:
—
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 am EST Saturday.
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow…
sleet… and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
Snow will continue… heavy at times… into Friday morning… with
additional accumulations of 4 to 6 inches tonight… bringing
total accumulations by daybreak to 6 to 11 inches in New York
City… and 10 to 15 inches in Westchester and Putnam counties.
The snow will then gradually become less steady and lighter into
Friday night… before tapering off to light snow or snow showers
on Saturday. Storm total accumulations through Saturday morning
should range from 12 to 17 inches in New York City..and 15 to 20
inches across Westchester and Putnam counties.
West winds will also be quite strong. Gusts to 50 mph at
times will produce near blizzard conditions at times.
The heavy wet snow will be sufficient to bring down trees and
power lines… and could also cause roof collapses.
