NYC area gets up to 4 inches of snow overnight — and there could be more on the way

New Yorkers awoke Sunday to up to four inches of snow — with even more fallings in some parts of the tristate area.

And even more could be on the way this coming week.

Following a night of heavy snow, sleet and ice, New York City’s Central Park recorded 3.1 inches of snow by Sunday morning.

That will likely stick around well into this coming week, as temperatures are set to remain chilly.

“It looks like for the next few days, it’s going to be kind of similar in temperature, around the mid-30s,” Fox Forecast Center Meteorologist Mathieu Blue told The Post.

There was even more snow outside of Manhattan.

Parts of Fordham in the Bronx reported 4.6 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

LaGuardia Airport in Queens got 3.6 inches.

Meanwhile, John F. Kennedy International Airport saw 3.1 inches of snow, while New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport and the surrounding areas saw about 3 inches.

Moving further from the Big Apple, parts of Long Island saw even more, Blue said.

An observer in Muttontown in Nassau County reported 5.1 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

Additionally, parts of Westchester and the Hudson Valley saw even more snow, with the region reporting between 4 and 6 inches.

Temperatures are expected to remain in the mid to low 30s moving into the upcoming week before another light dusting of snow later in the week.

“Once we get through our system, that could bring some light snow Tuesday into Tuesday night in New York,” Blue said.

“Temperatures should warm up for the next system that’s supposed to move in Thursday and Friday, which looks more wet than white,” Blue added.

National Weather Service officials also warned Sunday morning of light freezing rain that may cause icy roads and travel snares into the afternoon.
