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.

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.

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.
