It was a Christmas miracle!

New Yorkers woke up to a dash of snow on the morning of Christmas Eve — but it won’t last as temperatures rise Friday, forecasters said.

Snow flurries began falling in the Big Apple in the early hours on Friday morning, leaving cars and roads dusted with less than half an inch of powder before sunrise, Accuweather meteorologist Todd Kines told The Post.

“It’s going to be melting pretty quickly and I expect by this afternoon it’ll just be a memory,” Kines said.

But by the afternoon, temperatures will reach the 40s — and evaporate any hopes of white Christmas, Kines said.

“For those looking for a white Christmas, we’re not getting it this year,” Kines said.

Rain will put a further damper on hopes of snow sticking around for Santa, with a storm expected to arrive in the tri-state area around midnight Friday, Kines said.

“If you’ve got some really late Christmas shopping to do this evening, I think you’ll be fine,” Kines said. “But later on tonight, we’ll see some rain coming in and out.”

Then on Christmas Day, New Yorkers can expect more wet weather.

“It is going to be a wet day. There’ll be rain and drizzle off and on during the course of the day,” Kines said.

Other areas in the tri-state region, such as northern portions of New York’s Lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut, are expected to be left with one-tenth of an inch of ice, forecasters said.

“This may result in dangerous travel, and icing on untreated and elevated surfaces,” a National Weather Service advisory said.

The last time there was snow on the ground was on Christmas Day in New York City was in 2009, Kines said.

“While it did not snow on Christmas Day, there were two inches of snow on the ground. So technically that was probably the last so-called ‘white Christmas’ in the city,” he said.
