THURSDAY P.M. SNOW CHANCE LOWERING: While we cannot rule out a period of light snow moving in for Thursday evening, the latest trends are showing very light amounts for Long Island, possibly even a complete miss. Our current forecast of another coating to two inches Thursday evening remains unchanged for now, but if the more southerly trends continue, we will be able to lower expectations for snow on Thursday and have a better weather day overall. We will know more about that by Wednesday morning.
ANOTHER STORM EARLY NEXT WEEK? There is another winter storm threat in the Monday or Tuesday timeframe next week. Nothing with that chance is locked in right now, but that is the next time period we are keeping an eye on for any additional significant snow. We will know much more about whether or not that is a legitimate threat to Long Island by Thursday and Friday of this week - keep checking back for updates!
POST-BLIZZARD SAFETY: Please continue to be careful with areas of snow and ice on the ground. Each day going forward there will be warm enough daytime temperatures to allow for snow melt and cold enough overnight temperatures to cause refreezing and black ice. This pattern will continue for quite some time. Below you will find a few additional things to watch out for following such a big storm.

TODAY: Breaks of sun develop in the afternoon. Highs around 40 degrees with some snow melt. Lows near 29 degrees with refreezing into Thursday morning, so watch for icy spots.
