Scenes from NYC as snow returns

After nearly two years, it looks like New York City is making mends with its old friend  – snow.

NYC is expected to see about 1 to 3 inches of snow, just days after its first snow storm of the week.

New Jersey is facing the brunt of this winter storm, as the expected axis of heavier snow has shifted south. South of Trenton, New Jerseyans are expecting anywhere from 4 to 6 inches.

New York's first measurable snow in 700+ days

On Tuesday, New Yorkers saw their first taste of measurable snow in nearly two years.

When the snow drought was broken, the city dusted off their boots and shovels and enjoyed the winter blast.

Unfortunately for snow lovers on Tuesday, the snow transitioned into a messier wintry mix as temperatures warmed.

They're in luck for Friday though – as temps will linger below freezing in most of the area, the perfect conditions for snow to stick.
