NEW YORK — In a winter that has seen parts of the country hit by historic snowstorms, including other areas of the state, New York City has been remarkably snowless. Stripped may be too light a term, considering we haven’t seen any measurable snow so far, and we’re already well over a month into the winter season.
When will we have measurable snow in all five boroughs? The timing may finally come midweek, which would make New York City’s winter of 2022-23 the second with the first measurable snowfall recorded in Central Park later than usual. If we make it through next Monday without snow, which is also possible given these above-freezing highs, we’ll have a record.
At this point, Wednesday looks marginally interesting, at least, for those concerned with records and such.
Much of the New York City area could see a few hours of snowfall, possibly adding several inches, overnight into Wednesday and early morning. That could also include measurable snowfall in Central Park, though much will depend on snow potential.
If it doesn’t stick, well, it won’t count. If it does, we could be looking at an inch in Central Park or so, possibly, which would be enough to ruin the potential for a record-breaking 2022-2023 winter season.
Regardless, the expected precipitation for Wednesday is expected to change almost entirely to rain later in the day across the metropolitan area.
