New Yorkers woke up to the first snowfall of winter on the first official day of the season Saturday.
Around 2 inches of snow had fallen in many parts of the city, including Central Park, according to the National Weather Service, and as much as 4 inches in parts of New Jersey.
Snow is expected to end by 10 a.m. but the winter wonderland may get frozen in place with temperatures barely above freezing Saturday and dropping to the teens Saturday night.
Sunday’s high is expected to reach 25 and Monday will barely crack 32 degrees.
All told, the city could see around 2 inches to 3 inches, according to meteorologist Bill Goodman.
The forecast calls for a chance of snow showers early next week but Goodman said there’s a slim chance of a white Christmas on Wednesday because of higher temperatures.
“Maybe a little bit of a shot,” he said.
Last winter, the city went more than 700 days without seeing any significant accumulation, smashing the previous record of 400 days without snowfall.
City officials are asking New Yorkers to stay off the roads to allow sanitation workers to operate salt spreaders.
