New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey will get hit with snow starting Wednesday night and lasting until Thursday.
A winter storm warning was issued for the Eastern Union County New Jersey, southern parts of New York City, and Long Island.
“Heavy snow” is expected, says the National Weather Service in an alert.
Between 4 and 7 inches of snow can be expected in the New York metro area.
As for the timing, the agency adds that “rain mixes with sleet and snow this evening, before changing to all snow after midnight. Snow may be heavy at times late tonight through Thursday morning, before tapering off late Thursday afternoon and into Thursday evening.”
There will also be hazardous travel--namely driving--conditions, which include icy roads, reduce visibility, and “significant snow accumulations.” The visibility will be reduced to “one quarter to one half mile at times,” the Service adds.
