Well, looks like winter’s going to be making a comeback in the NYC metro area. Substantial snow in NYC metro (particularly N/W and then again up into New England). Courtesy of the NWS for NYC metro suburbs:

…winter storm watch in effect from Friday afternoon through
Saturday afternoon…

The national weather service in Upton has issued a winter storm watch…which is in effect from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.

* locations…northeastern New Jersey and Southern Westchester.

* hazard types…heavy snow…sleet…and freezing rain.

* accumulations…snow accumulation of 6 to 12 inches…along
with up to a quarter of an inch of ice.

NYC should expect 6-10 inches. Which is about what we should be getting this time of year. Several times in fact. NYC metro has seen lower than normal precipitation, so this snow is needed (if not wanted by localities that were hoping to save some money by not dipping into their snow clearance budgets after getting whacked with Sandy costs).
