It hasn’t snowed in New York City in a long time — 324 days if you’re counting. Local meteorologists said public interest in the ongoing drought of icy flakes has, well, snowballed. “It's nice to be wanted,” one said about a near-doubling of inquiries.

Ramunni was in the process of generating a graphic with statistics that his team expected to share Sunday on social media, in anticipation of matching the first milestone.“It’s not going to snow,” said Homenuk of Metro Weather. “We're as close to a hundred percent as you can be. They teach you not to say a hundred percent in meteorology, but it’s very unlikely that there's gonna be measurable snow in New York on Sunday.

Weather in New York City is affected by elements as far away as the Southern Hemisphere. This year, for example, cooler temperatures over the Pacific Ocean meant stronger jet streams pushing the cold air farther north. All that brought milder weather to most of the U.S., including New York City “We're all children who want to go out and play in the snow at heart and we're not really getting that opportunity,” said Casey.
