  • Snowfall rates could hit 2 inches an hour at the peak of the storm overnight. Check the latest severe weather alerts here.
  • Because we’ve had so little snow the last few winters, even 4 inches would be Central Park’s biggest total in four years.
  • For NY, CT, and most of NJ, it was expected to be an all-snow event, as temps would stay below freezing for the duration. Though some areas will see a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain. 
  • A state of emergency is in effect in NJ and NYC has issued a travel advisory; drivers should expect delays in holiday travel and hazardous travel conditions during snow.
