The snow is coming!
Though we had a few flurries last week, nothing’s quite as magical as the first actual snow of the season in NYC. And that appears to be coming this Wednesday!
According to the National Weather Service’s New York outpost, snow is likely to occur on Wednesday, December 8 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Though right now it’s predicted as rather light, with only about and inch or two of accumulation, meteorologists say the path of the storm could determine a few different outcomes — with one including much heavier snow.

#Snow is possible across parts of the Northeast Wednesday, but the track & intensity are still uncertain. ❄️🌧️
Currently leaning toward Scenario 2, where parts of the I-95 corridor could see some light snow showers. Accumulations/details still TBD. pic.twitter.com/7zECFcOsiS

It could also be more of a wintry mix than straight snow, which could impact travel throughout the city.
Wednesday could get messy. The track/impacts are bound to change but we should be prepared for a wintry mix that could impact travel. pic.twitter.com/RGy8XmrvQx

Ok – so Wednesday is a STORM WATCH day! It may or may not be impactful, but you need to know that it could possibly snow!@News12BX @News12BK #NYC #NYwx pic.twitter.com/8XjgIi8Ug2

Though it is predicted to be a warmer winter than usual, we can’t help but think about the record amount of snow last winter!
Remember the giant Nor’easter, all of the snow creations (never forget snow rat!), and The Bronx Zoo’s animals having a blast in the snow?
At the least, the city will be covered in a dusting, which always looks magical!
