NEW YORK (PIX11) – It's the middle of winter in New York City, but there seems to be something missing from the ground, sidewalks and roads.
Where is all the snow?
There is no snow in the 10-day forecast, according to PIX11 meteorologists. There may be some precipitation, but it's only expected to rain in the tri-state area, meteorologists said.
That might be due to the El Niño winter New York and the rest of the U.S. are experiencing, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Above-average temperatures are expected in the northern part of the U.S. from February to April, according to Climate Prediction Center, a division of NOAA.
The El Niño winter could also cause more rain to come down along the East Coast. There is a chance the climate event ends between April and June, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
New York City hasn't seen much snow this year. Only a few neighborhoods in the five boroughs saw over an inch of snow during January's snowstorm.
East Tremont, Mott Haven, Washington Heights, East Elmhurst and Tottenville all had an inch of snow accumulation. Brooklyn and Long Island didn't even see an inch of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
Central Park finally saw an inch of snow for the first time in 700 days during January's snow event, officials said.
AccuWeather predicted only 18-26 inches of snow to fall in New York City, below the average of 29.8 inches. The city had considerable snow accumulation in the winter of 2021-2022, when Central Park saw nearly 18 inches of snow during the season.
Central Park only saw 2.3 inches of snow accumulation during the winter of 2022-2023, according to the National Weather Service.
