"If you've never been in Central Park, mid-snowstorm, you're missing out - because New York never looked this good. Those looking for a memorable ride should grab the nearest sled, or sled-like implement, and head to Pilgrim Hill, located just south of Conservatory Water on the Upper East Side. This urban luge-scape is known for its steep slopes and rock-free rides, although this spot's not exactly a secret, so be prepared to brave some crowds."
"Want to slide in relative solitude? Head a few blocks north to Cedar Hill, which provides a mellower descent and more space. Upper West Siders can try their luck at Great Hill, the park's third-highest natural point, situated between W. 103rd and W. 107th Streets. Those who prefer a more remote run should head to Inwood Hill Park in far upper Manhattan, which affords scenic views of the city and a super sharp incline for those looking for some serious speed."
Winter Storm Fern will strike New York City as an Arctic front moves in over the weekend. Temperatures are expected to plunge into the single digits, with as much as 16 inches of snow possible, the heaviest since 2021. A winter storm watch covers the tri-state area from late Saturday night through Monday afternoon. AccuWeather warns conditions will worsen before improving, so bundling up and limiting exposure to subzero temperatures is essential. Central Park, Prospect Park, and Inwood Hill Park offer popular sledding runs, while many indoor options remain available for safer, cozy alternatives.
