New York City woke up Monday morning, Jan. 20, 2025, to a few inches of snow and freezing, icy temperatures, that are expected to last all week.

New Yorkers faced below-freezing temperatures, icy roads and a slower commute Monday — but the worst of the big chill still lies ahead. The snow that blanketed the city on Sunday topped no more than 3.

3-9 p.m. Sunday: The brunt. The quality of the snow starts to change. Previously "warmer" wet flakes will begin to cool and stack up, especially in the coldest areas north and west. Moderate, steady snow. A few stronger bands possible north and west.
