A fast-moving clipper system is set to bring widespread snowfall across Rockland County this Wednesday into Thursday. Residents should prepare for potentially hazardous conditions, including snow-covered roads and reduced visibility.
Snow showers are expected to begin Wednesday night, transitioning to a mix of rain and snow after midnight. Temperatures will remain steady around 34 degrees, with wind chill values ranging between 25 and 30 degrees. Winds will come from the south at 9 to 11 miles per hour, with gusts as high as 22 miles per hour. There is an 80 percent chance of precipitation, with less than one inch of new snow accumulation expected.
On Thursday, rain and snow showers will continue through the afternoon, gradually tapering off by late afternoon. The high temperature will reach near 39 degrees, with west winds of 13 to 17 miles per hour, gusting up to 37 miles per hour. The chance of precipitation remains at 80 percent, with less than half an inch of additional snow expected.
Residents are advised to take precautions and plan for winter driving conditions. Allow extra travel time and check for updates on weather and road conditions. It is also a good idea to keep emergency supplies, such as warm clothing, blankets, and a flashlight, in your vehicle in case of delays.
An inch and a half? That’s a brutal snowstorm! Remember growing up in Monsey in the late 70’s early 80’s, snowed in November and then we didn’t see the front lawn until March.
yes, remember this
Global warming is REAL.
There are very few lawns left for the snow to accumulate on what has happened.
I am not sure what street you live on but in my neighborhood in Monsey we have the gardeners cutting the green lawn every week
