00:07 Though I see there's a lot of rain in the city

00:10 Yeah, i'm just i'm just wet basically ariela and brie

00:17 I think I want to go on that sledding adventure, but i'd have to do that four and a half hour drive

00:22 In that those snowy conditions to get to you all but boy, that sounds like a great time

00:26 Yes, as you were saying it's a wet end here to the winter storm in new york city

00:31 I will admit the flurries yesterday were absolutely beautiful at first but as night fell

00:36 Many surfaces got slippery as the rain mixed in with that snow now

00:42 Take a look at some video i was able to capture today lots of people with the umbrella

00:46 You're going to want to have that umbrella handy if you're headed out as this rain is continuing to fall

00:52 You can see some of the people here in greenpoint brooklyn came prepared with accumulated rainfalls

00:56 However are around 34 degrees. St. Marie's can be slick. So please take it slow on those roadways now the big question

01:05 As we were talking about would this storm bring an end to the snow drought that resounding answer was no

01:11 Central park only got 0.2 inches according to the national weather service, new york yesterday

01:17 There was not enough. We needed to see about one inch or more of snow and that means it's been

01:23 693 days without significant snow now

01:26 I spoke with some children and yonkers who tell me why they love snowy days and what they remember

01:31 About the days a couple years ago

01:34 I felt happy because I get to play with my cousins in the snow

01:38 Our building is like a downstairs and like there's like a park and we were like and there's like a big circle area

01:45 And then we had a big giant snowball fight in the circle area

01:49 They will not be doing snowball fights today. If anything, it's just a rainy wet day here

01:55 But as you were saying we are watching a storm coming up early this week monday into tuesday
