NYC's First Accumulating December Snow in Three Years!
New York City experienced its first accumulating December snow since 2021, with 1.8 inches blanketing Central Park on Saturday. This marks a significant weather event, as the last measurable December snowfall was a mere 0.2 inches on Christmas Eve, 2021.

That storm was part of a larger winter event that brought a total of 10.5 inches to Central Park over two days.
Other parts of the tri-state area also saw significant snowfall, with some areas reporting 4-5 inches. This included locations in both New York and New Jersey. Specific measurements included 2 inches in Islip and 2.8 inches at LaGuardia Airport.
While no further snow is expected, chilly temperatures in the teens and wind chills in the single digits are forecast for Sunday morning.
Stay warm, NYC!
