New York, NY – A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is making for a treacherous morning commute across New York City and northern New Jersey. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. as icy roads and sidewalks create hazardous conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, accumulations of 1 to 2 inches of snow and sleet, along with a light glaze of ice, are expected before temperatures rise above freezing later this morning. The advisory covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, and parts of northeast New Jersey.
Precipitation began as snow overnight but is changing to a wintry mix. Commuters should expect delays and slippery conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and untreated roadways. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution and allow extra time.
By late morning, temperatures will climb above freezing, transitioning the wintry mix into rain. Until then, travelers should monitor conditions and take necessary precautions.
