The morning commute should improve as the morning progresses, with temperatures rising above freeezing, but police still advice you be careful if you’re out driving early Tuesday morning, since slippery roads may still present a problem in some spots.
Three to seven inches of snow may fall, along with a tenth of an inch of ice, the Weather Service said.
Meanwhile, points south will see a wintery mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain from about 4 a.m. through midnight Tuesday.
The New York State Department of Transportation has more than 430,000 tons of road salt on hand and 3,300-plus operators and supervisors ready statewide, the Governor’s Office reported.
According to Kistner the storm in the Northeast is part of the same system which brought tornadoes in the Midwest on Saturday and then moved to the Great Lakes leaving ice, rain, heavy snow and flooding on its way.
Spokesman Bob Potts said that the utility is readying trucks and appropriate personnel in anticipation of the storm and the possibility of power outages. That storm system killed dozens, including many who drowned in floodwaters and others caught up in tornadoes.
Forecasters said snowfall totals would range from an inch or less in parts of southern New England before turning over to rain and sleet, while northern regions could see up to a foot.
