Early Wednesday morning, New York City was once again blanketed with snow, raising concerns about tricky travel conditions for those heading to work, forecasters cautioned.
Snowflakes began descending upon the city around 6 a.m., with predictions from the National Weather Service (NWS) suggesting up to two inches could accumulate by 10 a.m. This snowfall adds a fresh layer to streets still recovering from the significant snowstorm that swept through from Sunday to Monday.
With the snow coinciding with the morning rush hour, the NWS highlighted the “potential for hazardous travel conditions,” urging commuters to proceed with caution.
While the heaviest snowfall is anticipated to occur outside the city, areas such as southern Connecticut and the lower Hudson Valley are expected to see the most accumulation.
Conditions are predicted to clear up by the afternoon; however, the NWS notes there is a possibility of additional light snow late Thursday into Thursday night.
Amid these weather challenges, over 350 flights were canceled Wednesday morning across the United States, primarily affecting airports in the Northeast, as the region continues to recover from the historic blizzard earlier in the week.
Both Long Island Railroad and NJ Transit trains and buses were operating on their regular weekday schedules.
