Discussion
Winter will put on quite an amazing display this week and here is a quick summary: frigid cold this morning with temperatures near zero degrees will be followed by accumulating snowfall from later tonight into mid-day Tuesday; snow showers and snow squalls should take place late Wednesday with additional small accumulations possible, and that will be followed by record-challenging cold on Thursday and Friday.
Today starts off on the frigid side with temperatures near zero and they will struggle this afternoon to reach the 20 degree mark. Snow will break out later today likely in the midnight-3am time period and continue right into mid-day on Tuesday. The total snowfall accumulation range in the NYC metro region will likely be 2-5 inches by early afteroon on Tuesday. This snowfall will have serious implications on the Tuesday morning commute, school openings, etc. Another Arctic blast arrives late Wednesday likely accompanied by snow showers/snow squalls and additional small accumulations, and then record-challenging cold on Thursday and Friday which may even surpass this morning's fierce cold for its severity.
