This week's episode of Saturday Night Live is moving forward as planned, even as New York City braces for as much as two feet of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

A rep for SNL told Variance that as of Saturday afternoon, producers are "monitoring the snowstorm" but "the show will go on."

The news comes only hours after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo this afternoon issued a mandatory travel ban which includes roadways and public transportation.

"When the snowfall reaches a certain rate, the plows cannot keep up," Gov. Cuomo said in a statement. "That is where we are."

As we previously mentioned, UFC star Ronda Rousey will host tonight's SNL with musical guest Selena Gomez.
