Despite NYC getting its first real snow of the season on Friday morning, we're getting less snow. Snow accounts for 20% of the New York metro's precipitation—in its place, flash floods become more frequent and the lack of cold temps lets insects thrive.

Snow is critical to the water supply in Western States where summers are arid and snow melt accounts for about 70% of the annual water supply, acting as a reservoir that fills rivers and streams in the spring and summer. New York state is already receiving more total precipitation than usual despite the decrease in snowfall, according to Wysocki.
