NYC's Upcoming Cold Snap: A Deep Freeze and Potential for Snow
Get ready, NYC! A lengthy period of freezing temperatures is on the horizon, bringing with it the possibility of accumulating snow, particularly south of the city. While the cold won't break any records, its extended duration – at least a week and a half – is noteworthy.

- Friday: A weak weather system will bring light snow to parts of Central and South Jersey, with Ocean County potentially seeing plowable amounts. NYC might see a few flakes. <img src="https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2025/01/1-2-precip-chances.png?resize=218%2C123&quality=85&strip=all" alt="Precipitation Chances">
- Monday: A second system has a higher chance of bringing accumulating snow to the NYC metro area, with the possibility of an inch or two in the city and 3-5 inches in parts of the Jersey Shore (especially further south). However, snowfall totals heavily depend on the storm's track. <img src="https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2025/01/1-2-snow-forecast-Monday-1.png?resize=218%2C123&quality=85&strip=all" alt="Snow Forecast Monday">
While these systems won't be major snowstorms, they could still bring a scenic coating of snow to parts of New Jersey. The prolonged freezing temperatures mean any snowfall will likely stick around.

We need a larger, well-timed storm to deliver substantial snow accumulations in Central Park.
