What to Know
- Winter weather advisories are in effect for most of the region, including all five boroughs of New York City, until Wednesday morning
- Sub-freezing temperatures in suburbs north and west of the city are poised to make for more potentially dangerous road conditions.
- The good news is it will be mostly dry for the rest of the day and temps will later climb above freezing. The bad news: the warmup is short-lived because brutal cold and wind take over Thursday night
After New York City's first measurable snowfall of 2021 left the roads slippery, bitter wind chills and more precipitations are expected in the coming days.

The good news is it will be mostly dry for the rest of the day and temps will later climb above freezing. The bad news: the warmup is short-lived because brutal cold and wind take over Thursday night.
Wind chills in the single digits or below zero may rule out outdoor activities through Saturday afternoon. Snow showers are expected to return by Sunday while temperatures stay around freezing.
Central Park saw its first measurable snowfall of 2021, nearly four weeks into January. But for those hoping to go sledding at Pilgrim Hill or Cedar Hill, keep the snow gear packed for now — just a tenth of an inch of snow was recorded.
Before Tuesday, the last time New York City saw measurable snowfall was on Dec. 17. The city's Department of Sanitation issued a snow alert for Tuesday starting at 2 a.m.; outdoor and roadway dining is allowed to continue, though.
