Central Park got more than four inches of snow for the first time since January 2022, with higher totals outside New York City.

New York has woken up to its heaviest snowfall in nearly four years after a winter storm blanketed parts of the US north-east. New York City's Central Park recorded 4.3in (11cm) of snow, its highest since January 2022, while other parts of the state saw up to 7.5in of snow, said the US National Weather Service (NWS).

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for NYC, parts of New Jersey, and Connecticut, with peak snowfall rates of 1–2 inches per hour. Snowfall could exceed 10 inches in some areas.

In the Lower Hudson Valley and Long Island areas, the Weather Service predicted 6 to 11 inches. Forecasts called for the snowfall to begin to peak overnight and then taper off early Saturday.

Hundreds of flights were cancelled at New York airports as a winter storm brought heavy snow, travel advisories, and hazardous road conditions across the Northeast.

The NYC area, including parts of NJ and CT, could get hit with several inches of snow this weekend. Here's a first look at the timeline and predicted totals.
