New York City is bracing for a significant snowstorm this Sunday, with forecasters predicting snowfall ranging from 5 to 12 inches across the metropolitan area.

The impending storm follows a previous snowfall that left traces on sidewalks nearly a month ago, underscoring the persistent winter conditions. Central Park, which recorded nearly a foot of snow from a storm on January 25th, could see similar accumulations by the conclusion of this weekend's weather event.
