The snow reappeared at New York. Four centimeters of white coat covered the American city this Tuesday. The US Weather Service (NWS) for New York State and City announced on X (former Twitter) that the “long streak” of seven hundred and one days without “an inch (2.5 cm) of snow Central Park » had ended.
As of 7 a.m. local time, there was at least 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) of snow accumulated on the island’s immense green lung. Manhattan. The other boroughs of New York, such as the gigantic Brooklyn, were also covered in a white coat reminiscent of Epinal images of the winters of the largest city in the United States, with traditionally very marked seasons.
More than two years after the “blizzard of the century”
After a long weekend, snowfall overnight from Monday to Tuesday caused some transportation disruptions and school closures north of New York, in the residential county of Westminster. The megacity and its 8.5 million souls – to which are added the millions of inhabitants of the New York suburbs of the State of New Jersey, the Long Island peninsula and Westminster County – had not seen significant snowfall for almost two years.
More than a year ago, at Christmas 2022, the “blizzard of the century” and more than a meter of snow in the north and west of the immense, partly rural state of New York had caused dozens of deaths, notably in the large city of Buffalo on the Canadian border. In the United States and the rest of the world, the frequency, intensity, and unpredictability of summer and winter weather are increasing due to climate change.
