Some light snow is moving through NYC and the surrounding New York and New Jersey area, just in time for Christmas Eve.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The snowflakes falling Tuesday morning made for a festive sight on Staten Island. The frosty precipitation gathered on tree limbs and rooftops, making for a scene serving as a reminder of Christmas Eve.

Snowy weather during the Tuesday morning rush hour should leave behind about half an inch of accumulation, according to Bryan Ramsey from the National Weather Service. With some places – like Central Park – still covered in some snow from winter weather over the weekend, the total could be enough to last until Christmas Day.

Some residents in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions woke up to a White Christmas Eve on Tuesday morning. Around 20 million people are under winter weather alerts across the regions, which received upwards of an inch of snow.

New Yorkers were treated to a white Christmas Eve as light snow fell across the city, but most of it will melt away by Wednesday morning, forecasters said.

It appears the Christmas Eve winter storm has brought enough snow to Maine to ensure many people in the state will be having a white Christmas. According to the National Weather Service, there needs to be at least 1 inch of snow on the ground on Christmas Day for it to be considered a white Christmas.
