New York – A quiet gray sky hangs over the city this morning, with light snow and freezing drizzle drifting across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island. The air feels damp and cutting as temperatures hover just above freezing, enough for a thin glaze to form on bridges, overpasses, and untreated sidewalks.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, a light wintry mix is affecting portions of Long Island, northeast New Jersey, and the Lower Hudson Valley. While snowfall will remain light—less than a half-inch—the bigger concern is a thin glaze of ice from freezing drizzle, particularly in shaded areas and elevated surfaces. Drivers along I-95, the Cross Bronx, and Long Island Expressway should expect patchy slick spots through midmorning.
By afternoon, clouds gradually lift as drier air filters in, leaving highs near 41°F. Sunday stays partly sunny with a brisk north wind before colder air returns Monday, when temperatures fall back toward the upper 20s and low 30s.
Another weak system may pass midweek, bringing rain and snow chances Wednesday into Thursday, while longer-range models continue to point toward a colder, more active pattern Dec. 11–17 across the Northeast and Great Lakes—prime timing for early holiday travel slowdowns.
