Winter Season Snowfall in New York City Reveals Lower Than Last Year, NWS Report Shows

The winter season marks the excitement for more snowfall in  New York City. However, according to the latest weather report, NYC explained the lack of measurable snowfall this season, adding that current records showed that snowfall appeared lower than last year. 

Recent weather news showed that heavy lake-effect snow impacted portions of New York City in November and December 2022. Buffalo City received the worst impact, causing significant travel delays and restrictions.   

The heavy lake-effect snow brought extreme weather temperatures that resulted in causing health risks to vulnerable people in New York City. Meanwhile, snow accumulation on roofs and streets raised concerns for motorists and homeowners. 

In addition, the blast of arctic air in New York City also helped to unfold colder temperatures in December 2022.
