The cold persists Tuesday with perhaps a flake or two out there this afternoon, and maybe a little more as we head into the middle part of the week.

The rumors are true: there's a chance of seeing some flurries later this week. The bitter cold remains the main event for the week. For those in the NYC metro area, conditions stay mostly dry this week while our friends to the north and west continue to pile on the snow. That could change midweek, however.

Even if snowflakes do develop, they won’t be widespread or heavy, per the National Weather Service's forecast.
