Overview

  • New York City's Central Park experienced its snowiest day in over two years with 3.2 inches of snow, marking a significant weather event for the area.
  • Residents and visitors took advantage of the snowy conditions, engaging in activities such as sledding, building snowmen, and taking selfies in the picturesque setting.
  • New York City schools attempted to shift to remote learning due to the snow, but technical issues led many to enjoy the snow day outdoors instead.
  • The nor'easter affected not just New York, but also brought significant snowfall to parts of New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
  • Despite initial concerns of up to 8-10 inches of snow, the final accumulation in Central Park was less than expected, but still provided a welcome change of scenery for many.
