Description:
Areas of 2 to 5 inches of snow have been reported across
northeast New Jersey, NYC, Western Long Island, the Lower Hudson
Valley, and parts of western Connecticut. Wind gusts may peak
around 30-35 mph this afternoon and may persist into the early
evening before weakening early tonight.
Conditions during this time are expected to lead to blowing snow
already on the ground. This can lead to quickly reduced
visibilities on roadways. Any untreated surfaces may remain snow-
covered and icy into this evening, leading to hazardous driving
conditions.
Leave plenty of space between you and other drivers and drive at
reduced speeds.
