New York City & New Jersey Hit With 1-4 Inches Of Snow Overnight
Surprise, surprise! New York City is officially in its snowy winter era.
A swift-moving storm originating from the Rockies is poised to impact the New York City metro area late Friday night through Saturday morning, ushering in a period of accumulating snow.
The precipitation occurred during the late night, when temperatures are typically at their lowest, raising concerns for slippery travel conditions and slushy areas on both roads and walkways throughout the city.
Anticipate potential airline delays on Saturday morning as deicing operations become necessary.
Manhattan is expected to receive a coating of up to an inch of snow, while the surrounding boroughs may see slightly more, ranging from 1 to 3 inches. Central southern New Jersey could experience a more substantial snowfall, with projections ranging from 3 to 6 inches, particularly on grassy and elevated surfaces. The predominant impact of the snowfall is expected on these surfaces rather than paved ones.
Despite the accumulation, some natural melting is forecasted during the midday and afternoon hours on Saturday. However, caution is advised, as any lingering wet or slushy areas have the potential to freeze Saturday night, leading to the formation of icy patches on untreated roads and walkways. As residents and travelers navigate these wintry conditions, staying informed about local weather updates and taking necessary precautions remains paramount.
Snow is still accumulating in Long Island so keep an eye out!
