January 2025 has been unusually chilly. To this point, 16 days have registered common temperatures under freezing. And due to that, you’d assume we ought to be racking up snow by the foot, proper?
That’s not the case, as a result of to this point January has additionally been the driest January on document in Central Park. And information return to the 1860s, in order that’s saying one thing.
Lower than half an inch of liquid-equivalent precipitation has fallen. Of that, we solely bought three inches of snow.
However the month’s not over and, certainly, there’s a little little bit of snow within the forecast. We stress the “little” in that sentence.
4 totally different low-pressure methods will slide by the area – some stronger than others – that might convey flakes or raindrops to various levels. Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday and Sunday look to be the times to look at.
Tuesday morning is bleak for these of hoping for accumulating snow. Anticipate flurries or a short gentle snow bathe, at finest, with no accumulation. On the very highest elevations, colder temperatures could enable for increased snow totals.
Friday’s precipitation probability seems essentially the most spectacular, however temperatures might be above freezing for a lot of the day, so a blanket of snow just isn’t within the playing cards within the New York Metropolis neighborhood. A greater wager can be a glaze of ice or all rain – nevertheless it’s too early to make a name on what precisely we’ll get.
We’ll name it a wintry combine for now and recommend a raincoat and umbrella for you while you step out the door Friday morning.
And after Sunday, we’re in for a dry stretch of days, so it seems like every important snow just isn’t doubtless till effectively into February on the earliest.
