NEW YORK CITY – New York City woke up to its first snow of the season on Tuesday as a burst of wintry showers moved through during the morning commute, bringing slick spots and a bite of winter to November’s chill.

What we know:
Snow briefly flurried through the city and was set to taper as the morning continued, with clouds hanging tough through the afternoon.
Temperatures rebound into the low-to-mid 40s, and west winds 15–25 mph will make it feel colder through the day. A frreeze warning was in effect until 9 a.m. for parts of southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey and southeast New York, where lows dipped to the upper 20s and lower 30s. These temps are cold enough to damage sensitive plants.

What’s next:
While totals are light, brief coatings are possible on colder surfaces, especially on bridges, overpasses and untreated side streets.
The chilly temperatures stick around through midweek. Looking beyond today, FOX 5 NY’s winter outlook points to more frequent snow chances than last season for parts of the region, with the best odds north and west of the city if colder patterns lock in.
