Winter-weary New Yorkers woke up Monday morning to a fresh coating of snow – with even more expected in a week, according to forecasters.
Most of the Big Apple saw at least an inch overnight, while parts of Long Island had more than two inches — even as the gross mounds of dirty, gray snow from the last dump weeks ago still litter the streets.
“Pretty impressive little quick-hitting storm today,” Accuweather Meteorologist Alex DaSilva told The Post of the overnight flurries, while warning that more is expected in exactly a week, between Sunday and next Monday.
“It looks like there could be a coastal storm that may try to form during that time. It’s way too early to talk about any kind of amounts or anything like that. And it’s still possible that the storm could go safely out to sea,” DaSilva said.
Fortunately, temperatures are expected to rise Monday into the 40s. Throughout the week, temperatures are expected to stay mostly above freezing, which will help get rid of the nasty snow piles.
“So through this week, highs and lows above freezing should be able to melt some of that dirty snow that we’re seeing across the city,” DaSilva said.
“Not sure it’s going to be able to get rid of it all, because some of those piles are probably pretty high, but we should be able to get rid of a noticeable amount of those snow piles through Friday.”
Monday’s fresh powder did not appear to cause any major disruptions at local airports, according to flight-tracking data.
