Snow lingers across Great Lakes, Northeast today
A powerful winter storm that has created dangerous weather and heavy snow across the eastern U.S. this week is beginning to exit the country. On its way out, it’ll dump even more snow across the Great Lakes and Northeast today. The heaviest snow will fall in a swath from portions of upstate New York into Maine.
New York City’s snowless streak will continue for now despite snow falling in the city Wednesday. Warm temperatures at the ground prevented the flakes from accumulating to the 0.1 inches needed to officially break the streak. Now, attention turns to whether NYC will break the record for its longest snowless streak, which is 332 days.
