Purim Day Snowstorm to Leave 3-5 Inches

Usually a harbinger of spring, this year Purim day will be a harsh reminder of the lingering winter’s record-breaking snow and cold, with 3-5 inches expected to accumulate on the streets of winter-weary New York.

The first round of this weather system arrived Tuesday afternoon in the form of snow and sleet. As warmer air works into the storm from the south, snow and sleet will change to rain Tuesday night into Wednesday.

On Thursday, Purim day, temperatures are expected to plunge again to below freezing, and 3-5 inches of snow are expected to accumulate by evening.
