I love New York City but I don't think it's normal for snow to stick around very long there either. There are webcams that I have watched when they have their snowstorms and honestly a lot of the time the snow doesn't even stick on the roads during the storm.
Even after the next day the snow is gone, usually only snow piles are left.
NYC had snow laying from early January to early March in 2013-14, and late January to mid-March in 2014-15. I know these past two years were somewhat unusual but we did have snow on the ground from late December 2010 to mid-February 2011 and I believe most of February-March 1978. So it does happen.

But it isn't normal - which was the crux of his point.
But don't forget NYC is a big & busy city, any snow that does fall is not going to get much of a chance to settle on the roads with all the traffic & if if does it will likely be ploughed away anyway. Looking at webcams of Times Square probably isn't the best site to use to see if NYC has any laying snow...
Hey come on guys ok NYC is not very snowy but for sure there are some weeks per year that has snow on ground. It is a place that you will experience cold and snow every winter.
NYC's winters are generally too mild to see snow cover for longer than about two weeks. If I were to guess, less than half of winter days in NYC have snow on the ground, maybe around 35% or so.

That's true but your not going to really have any proper snow on the ground, it'll be trampled on and melted by the end of the day.

You have to go to Central Park to see the snow.
But that is the same in any city where it snows. The fact it remains in central park tells you that the snow does lay on the ground in NYC, if the cars & people were not there then the streets would be covered too...
