The first winter storm of the season was a dud, at least for New York City. A record snowless streak that has lasted almost two years will continue for the Big Apple.

A storm that arrived Saturday brought more rain than snow, and conditions dried up by Sunday afternoon.

The storm started as snow Saturday afternoon, but quickly turned to rain Saturday night. Very little snow accumulated, with city temperatures staying over 32 degrees.

The last time there was an inch of snow or more in a 24-hour period at Central Park was back in February 2022, over 690 days ago. This is the longest snowless streak in over 150 years of records at Central Park.

"I know our friends in New York City have been waiting 693 days to be able to build a snowman and lucky for them, or unfortunate for them, depending on your perspective, they'll have to wait a little longer. No real accumulation there," Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a press conference in Latham Sunday morning.

There were no snowball fights or sledding Sunday. Instead, it was a messy driving day, but there were no serious public transportation delays.

The snow was much more impactful north and west of the city. Massachusetts, New Hampshire and other New England states were hit with multiple inches of snow Sunday, as were the Poconos and upstate New York.

Another storm is expected to hit the city later this week. Flooding and strong winds are expected Tuesday and Wednesday.

Overall, 2023 was the least snowy winter on record in the city's history, with total snowfall coming in at less than 5 inches. The average snowfall for a typical winter in the five boroughs is near 30 inches.
