The wait is over. ❄️❄️ Central Park recorded the first measurable snowfall of the season this morning, with nearly half an inch as of 5:30 AM. This is latest first measurable snowfall for the season since record keeping began in 1869. #NYwx

It took until the 14th, but Central Park has finally touched the freezing mark for the first time this year! Unsurprisingly, this is the City's second mildest start to the year since the late 1860s. Still waiting on the first measurable (0.1"+) snow! #NYwx
