January 2025 has been unusually chilly. Up to now, 16 days have registered common temperatures beneath freezing. And due to that, you’d suppose we ought to be racking up snow by the foot, proper?
That’s not the case, as a result of thus far January has additionally been the driest January on file in Central Park. And data 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 obtained 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 programs will slide by way of the area – some stronger than others – that would deliver flakes or raindrops to various levels. Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning, Friday and Sunday look to be the times to observe.
Tuesday morning is bleak for these of hoping for accumulating snow. Anticipate flurries or a short mild snow bathe, at greatest, with no accumulation.
Wednesday morning will deliver mild accumulations throughout the Catskills and Hudson Valley, however no more than 1 to three inches. For town, don’t count on a lot past one other spherical of flurries.
Friday’s precipitation likelihood appears probably the most spectacular, however temperatures will likely be above freezing for a lot of the day, so a blanket of snow will not be within the playing cards within the New York Metropolis neighborhood. A greater guess could 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 whenever you step out the door Friday morning.
And after Sunday, we’re in for a dry stretch of days, so it appears like every important snow will not be seemingly till properly into February on the earliest.
