It’s not exactly the snow tsunami that was being predicted. The nor’easter was expected to dump the city with up to 2 feet of snow, is now being reported, probably going to leave a still decent but much less crippling amount of around 8 inches.
The original 24 blizzard warning for NYC and LI was changed at 8 am this morning to a winter weather advisory in effect until 8pm tonight, according to National weather service.
The expected accumulation is expected to be anywhere from 4 to 8 inches as the snow switches to sleet and then rain by afternoon, the weather service said.
The Metro North Railway shut down at noon today due to high winds and heavy snow in the Hudson Valley. Although the city was expected to get far less accumulation, the rest of the surrounding areas are not.
