New York City’s snow drought may come to an end Wednesday, just in time for the morning commute.

The city, which hasn’t had a measurable snowfall yet this year, could get as much as 2 inches (5 centimeters) of snow in the morning, said Bryan Ramsey, a National Weather Service meteorologist at Upton, New York on Long Island. The snowfall will be short lived, given rising temperatures throughout the day and rain that will wash it away.
