Discussion
Another round of accumulating snow gets underway early today in the NYC metro as low pressure intensifies off the Carolina coastline. The snow will come down at varying rates around here during the day with likely final accumulation amounts of 2-4 inches by the early part of tonight and isolated higher amounts are possible. An Arctic air mass will follow this system with some bitter cold conditions for the weekend, but the chill will slowly fade away during the early part of next week. In fact, rain may return to the forecast by the middle and latter parts of next week as a “January thaw” develops and takes us to the end of the month.
