Especially when you've been away for a few days... as seen on Sixth Street west of Avenue B...

At play in the fields of the snow

Thanks to Steven for these photos from Tompkins Square Park today...

Saturday's opening shots

Our intrepid reporter ventured out into Tompkins Square Park during the latest fizzled Storm of the Century last night around 10 ...

We had a few inches of snow, thought nowhere near the projections. 

In Central Park, officials measured 4.3 inches, per reports. 

Bridge views

Thanks to Roger Bultot for sharing this Manhattan Bridge view this morning from the LES... with the Brooklyn Bridge through the snowfall in the distance...

Sunday's opening shot

Tompkins Square Park in the light snowfall this morning (accumulation anywhere from 2-5 inches in the NYC area) ... the snow is expected to taper off by noon, with the sun eventually making an appearance... perhaps some of the snow will stick around for the tree lighting here today from 4-5 p.m.

Saturday's opening shot

Early morning view from Seventh Street at First Avenue. 

It looks and feels like snow out there today... and the NYC area is under a winter storm advisory... and you are advised via AccuWeather that snow and flurries will start late this evening, accumulating an inch or two overnight ... expect slippery conditions on sidewalks and streets and staircases, etc.

Thursday's parting shot

Tuesday's parting shot

It has begun (the snow flurries — an inch of so total overnight, per the Weather Channel)...

We're in for a wintry mix (and we don't mean music)

We are under a winter weather advisory ("we" as in NYC and the tri-state area). 

According to the National Weather Service, we could see ("we as in ... forget it!) up to two inches of snow... plus a "glazing" of ice for fun. 

Per the NWS on timing: 

Snow develops from southwest to northeast after midnight, mixing with sleet and freezing rain by mid to late morning, before tapering as plain rain by afternoon. The coast and NYC metro will change to rain by late morning. 

So there's a good chance of an ugly commute wherever you need to commute to.  

The top photo shows the light snowfall in Tompkins Square Park from Sunday night.

Here are a few scenes from yesterday. Depending on the location, NYC received two to four inches of snow...

Today in snow forecasts

The metropolitan area is under a winter-weather advisory today through tonight, and three to five inches of snow are expected in NYC. 

According to the National Weather Service, snow will start falling this afternoon around 3 p.m. and last through 10 p.m. 

And after the snow (which is also the name of an underrated Modern English record, even with the inclusion of "I Melt With You")...

After the snow ends Sun night, the main story will be arctic air through much of next week. Temps are likely to be well below freezing from late Sun night until Fri. Wind chills Mon night into early Tue -5 to -15°F and Tue into early Wed 0 to -10°F. See graphic for more. pic.twitter.com/WTmgW9952Y

Saturday's parting shot

We've seen the festive front of 327 E. Fifth St. (photo at this EVG link). 

Here, a photo taken early this morning behind the building shows St. Francis looking at a Christmas tree. 

Thanks to Richard Madigan for sharing!

Thanks to Cecil Scheib for this snowy view today of Tompkins Square Park. 

And that's pretty much it for the snowfall this morning. Sun is out by noon 9 a.m., per the weather app.

The winter wonderland we've all been waiting for (we'll take it)

Finally, some snowfall that might garner more than 1,000 likes on Instagram! Waking up to as much of a winter wonderland as we've had these past two years (not really counting Tuesday, which was a bit of a bust in some weather corners). 

The winter weather advisory is in effect until 10 this morning... with the flurries tapering off soon after...

Meanwhile, here's how it looked early today...   

And the streets are clear (of snow) ... in case driving on or crossing a street is in your future...

Storm center: Scenes from around the East Village after Nor’easter moves off the coast

For those of us who were here, it will be a winter storm discussed for generations, as more than three inches of snow fell in Central Park, the most since 2022. (We forgot to measure how much fell closer to home.)

By late this afternoon, there were widespread reports of damp sidewalks, soggy cardboard in broken recycling bags and photogenic puddles...

Meanwhile, any wet or untreated roadway will likely ice over tonight as temperatures drop below freezing. So try to stay within the salt path on the side streets...

So while the winter storm warnings turned out to be a non-event around Manhattan, other local areas and states were hit hard... and we heard from a few people who had their flights delayed or canceled. 

Soon, back to the "Remembering When It Snowed" posts.

Tuesday morning in review

Photo from 9th and A by Steven 

Waking to a slushy snowfall this morning... as the entire NYC metropolitan area and northeast corridor remains under a Winter Storm Warning (the first in two years) until 6 p.m. 

Readers have reported gusty winds and sloppy sidewalks... though not close to the 4-8 inches forecast (yet).

Meanwhile, flames were spotted coming from a manhole on the southbound lane of Avenue A between Sixth Street and Seventh Street ... as the salty runoff caused some sparks here... the FDNY was quickly on the scene. 

Thanks to EVG reader Emma for this clip...

 

... and a shot with Con Ed and the FDNY via Derek Berg...

Updated 5 p.m. 

We've heard from several readers about the stubborn (and dramatic) manhole fire ... the FDNY (with Con Ed) eventually had to clear out part of (half of?) the open-air curbside space at Kazuza Lounge...
