This year, rainy weather could put a damper on New Year's Eve celebrations as multiple storms are expected, with at least one storm taking aim at New York City. A map from AccuWeather shows that snow is expected in northern New York, Vermont and part of New Hampshire, with rain forecast from southern New York through North Carolina on December 31.

It’s almost time for the iconic Times Square News Year’s Eve ball drop, an event that marks both the closing of the year and the closing of many streets in Manhattan.
