It appears the most brutal New York City winter this side of De Blasio’s first term isn’t quite done dishing out its lashings. Barely dug out from its first blizzard in a decade, NYC is, somehow, expected to receive even more snow by the end of this week.
Overnight on Tuesday, a weather system will bring somewhere between a dusting and roughly an inch of accumulation to parts of the five boroughs, according to the National Weather Service, which would be somewhat tolerable if we didn’t also have to report it’s only the first of potentially multiple waves of snow headed for the city within the next week. On top of tonight’s coating, we could get yet another on Thursday, February 26, with a 30% chance of precipitation, and up to a few inches of fresh powder. The forecast, so far, points to a bit of a break over the weekend and highs in the low-to-mid-40s on Saturday and Sunday, before we’re once again threatened with a not insignificant chance of starting next week with yet another system moving in, bringing a 30-40% probability of additional pain and discomfort to a city begging for a break from it all.
All of this, of course, arrives on the heels of a particularly active month of meteorological misery in New York, which saw two historic storms blow through in less than three weeks. The late-January storm brought about a foot of snow with it, which was plenty. And that’s to say nothing of the blizzard that only just ended roughly 24 hours ago, dumping about two feet of snow on the New York metropolitan area, with the highest totals (31 inches) seen on Long Island.
In the clean-up effort, Mayor Mamdani worked with the Department of Sanitation to deploy plows and emergency snow shovelers, who have been hard at work clearing sidewalks, streets, and bus stops across the city since Sunday night. Here’s hoping there are no more surprises in the days ahead. But at this point, we wouldn’t count anything out.
