Another round of wintry weather dumped more than 8 inches of snow on sections of South Jersey while depositing 3 inches in parts of Long Island and nearly 2 inches within New York City.
Snowfall began Tuesday evening and continued into the early hours of Wednesday morning, producing yet another snowy scene for tristate-area residents to wake up to.
Throughout the area, the most snow fell in Cape May, N.J., at the southern tip of the state, where 8.8 inches were recorded, according to the National Weather Service.
Other impressive totals included 7.8 inches at Atlantic City International Airport, 7 inches in Ocean City and 5 inches in Toms River.
Accumulation was sharply divided across the state, with 2 inches or less falling across Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union counties.
Inside the five boroughs, the most snow was recorded in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Canarsie and Flatbush, where 2 inches fell. In Central Park, only 1.5 inches were tallied, while Kennedy Airport saw 1.8 inches.
Slightly more snow fell on Long Island, where 3.2 inches were recorded in North Babylon in Suffolk County.
Tuesday night’s storm was the second of back-to-back-to-back winter storms expected in the tristate area. On Wednesday night into Thursday morning, the danger was predicted to shift north, with snow and sleet expected in North Jersey, into the Hudson Valley and in southern Connecticut, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters warned of a potential “light glaze of ice” creating hazardous travel conditions north of New York City on Thursday morning. However, temperatures are expected to rise throughout Thursday, allowing the ice to melt and creating somewhat safer roads.
