Most of the tri-state was scheduled to be under a winter storm warning by the afternoon, when conditions pick up and heavy snow bands could drop as much as an inch of snow per hour. For some, it’ll be the most snow in nearly three years.

A blanket of snow covered New York City Monday morning after a weekend storm. Snowflakes started falling Sunday afternoon and ended overnight, with some areas of New York state getting over 8 inches of snow.

The snow that blanketed the city topped no more than 3.6 inches citywide but came with a blast of arctic air expected to last all week.
