New York City Records Heaviest Snowfall Since 2022

A recent winter storm delivered New York City's most substantial snowfall since January 2022, with Central Park recording 4.3 inches as of Saturday morning. This marks the highest accumulation in the park since the storm of January 28-29, 2022, which deposited over 8 inches.

The storm's impact varied across the region. In New Jersey, snowfall totals ranged from 2 to 4 inches in northern areas, with lesser amounts in the southern parts of the state. Connecticut and parts of Long Island experienced higher accumulations, with some areas receiving between 7 and 9 inches. Notably, New Fairfield, Connecticut, recorded 9.1 inches, and Babylon, New York, saw 7.5 inches.

The storm's progression was influenced by warmer air aloft, leading to a mix of sleet and freezing rain in certain areas, which kept snow totals lower than initially anticipated. Despite this, the storm caused significant travel disruptions, including over 1,500 flight cancellations starting Friday night.

As the storm subsided by Saturday morning, attention shifted to lingering flurries and potentially slick road conditions. Temperatures were expected to remain below freezing, with untreated surfaces posing hazards due to ice. Looking ahead, dry conditions were anticipated during daylight hours on Sunday, with rain expected to move in by the evening.
