The usual weather-induced hysteria from local stations, no doubt. But keep in mind that most New Yorkers are complete wimps about anything resembling normal winter conditions. If it's in the 30s, everyone whines about how dreadfully cold it is, even in sunny, windless 30-something-degree weather.
That storm just after Xmess a couple of years ago was genuinely nasty, however. I got blown off the curb and into the street by a hefty gust: footing was so bad that I couldn't stop myself. The city's wretched response made things very difficult. I think they're being careful to avoid a similar under-reaction since then.
Have you ever seen how the South handles snow? Sheesh.
