The National Weather Service says snow depth in Central Park was 1 inch at 7 a.m. Christmas morning. That's the minimum amount of snow needed to make it officially a White Christmas.

Keep dreaming about that white Christmas, New York. The Big Apple was blanketed in a light layer of snow Tuesday morning, marking the first time in more than two decades there has been snow on Christmas Eve — but it won’t last.

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.

While many major retailers and attractions are closed, there are still plenty of things to do and places to go in and around New York City.

No garbage collection, no recycling, no organics collection and no street cleaning today. Residents who normally receive Wednesday trash, recycling or curbside compost collection may place their material out at curbside this evening for collection beginning tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 26, according to the city Sanitation Department website.
