"Northeastern U.S. Hit by Unexpected Winter Storm, Bringing Up to 10 Inches of Snow"

Staten Island residents woke up to nearly 10 inches of snow from an unexpected clipper storm, which was originally forecasted to bring minimal snow. Snowfall amounts varied across the city, with Staten Island receiving the highest totals of 7 to 10 inches. Roads and transportation were affected, with the Staten Island Zoo closed due to the weather conditions. The snow is expected to taper off with temperatures rising into the mid 30s, but freezing could be a concern as temperatures dip back into the 30s overnight.
