While much of the tri-state received rain overnight, some residents in New York and New Jersey are waking up to the first accumulating snow of the season. The most significant snowfall was expected in higher elevations north and west of the New York City area. So far, the snow accumulation has been very “elevation dependent,” according to the National Weather Service. Those higher elevations were needed for the temperatures to reach or fall below the freezing level. The overnight snow caused some school closings and delays. The full list is available here. Among the closures, West Milford Public Schools in Passaic County are closed after reports of more than 7″ of snow falling in the area. A winter storm warning remains in effect for Sullivan, Ulster and Pike counties through Friday. Other areas north and west of the city including western Passaic County, northern Westchester County, and Orange, Putnam and Rockland counties remain under a winter storm advisory through Friday morning. Elsewhere, rain has been the story, where a much-needed one to two inches has fallen in much of the immediate NYC area. NYC and the nearby metro will see lingering showers through Friday and temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Here’s a look at the additional rain expected through Friday. A shower could hang on into Saturday morning, with sunshine and breezy winds. Sunday is the nicer weekend day. We’re closely watching Thanksgiving where the chance of some impactful weather is possible, but it’s too early to know the particulars, which will come into focus over the next few days.
