‘Sloppy mix’ ahead for NYC as upstate, New England preps for foot of snow

It’s a wash!
New York City will likely not see enough snow this weekend to break its nearly 700-day snow drought, but neighbors to the north are bracing for the nor’easter set to hammer them with up to a foot of powder.
Flakes are expected to start falling in the city late in the day Saturday, but will turn to rain overnight and back to snow Sunday. Less than half an inch of accumulation is expected in the Metro area, according to the National Weather Service.
“I don’t think we’re going to get the 1 inch that would break the snow drought streak,” Fox Weather meteorologist Marissa Lautenbacher told The Post.
“New York and Philly are both right on that freezing line so we’re really only going to get that sloppy mix of precipitation — some flakes mixed in but it’s mainly going to be rain,” she said.
The city hasn’t seen snow since it got a measly .1 inches in March, and hasn’t gotten a full inch since February 2022.
