It’s been anything but a winter wonderland for fans of snowflakes in several large metro areas in the Northeast this season.
From Oct. 1, 2022, through Wednesday, Jan. 18, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., have received only trace amounts of snowfall, a vast departure from the typical accumulation during that timespan. A trace amount does not qualify as measurable snow, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.
