Old Man Winter is taking a bite out of the Big Apple.
As much as four inches of snow could blanket New York City overnight Friday into Saturday — just days after the last winter storm passed through the area.
The quick-moving low pressure system is expected arrive around midnight, beginning as flurries before snowfall rates could intensify.
Snow could fall at a rate of a ½-inch to 1-inch per hour at some points between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.
By the time the storm pulls away before noon Saturday, the five boroughs could pick up anywhere from 2 to 4 inches, the NWS said.
“There was always a chance to see multiple rounds of snow this week,” Fox News meteorologist Samantha Thomas said, following Tuesday’s snowstorm that dumped roughly 4 inches on the city.

“The totals have increased a little bit over the last couple of days,” Thomas noted.
Friday’s system is tracking a bit farther south than Tuesday’s. Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Baltimore are all expected to receive accumulating snow.
The NWS warned the snow covered roads and visibility as low as 1/2 to 1 mile could be dangerous for those traveling.

Fortunately, the storm will be in and out quickly.
“We can still see lingering snow showers throughout the day, a few bursts here and there but for the most part it’s going to be overnight and a lot of people are going to be waking up to snow tomorrow morning,” Thomas said.
Temperatures are expected to plummet Saturday night with wind chills in the upper teens on Sunday morning before some warmer weather rolls in during the week, she said.
