NYC Weather Forecast: Snow Not Done Yet; 2 Inches Possible This Weekend
Winter Storm Stella may have passed, but NYC isn't done with snow just yet.
NEW YORK, NY — Winter Storm Stella may have passed, but New York City is not quite done with this year's snow, forecasters are saying.
The National Weather Service — which, we remind you, knew Stella wouldn't live up to the hype but declined to change its forecasts — says there's about a 50/50 chance that the city could get some snow on Saturday, possibly up to two inches of the white stuff.
