"An Advisory has been issued for a Long Duration Winter Weather Event formed from Freezing Rain, Snow and Sleet which is 
expected to last from tonight through 6am Tuesday morning in
Coastal Connecticut, Rockland and Westchester Counties,
Northeastern New Jersey, New York City and Nassau County.

Hazardous Travel will be due to:
Snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches along with
One-quarter of an inch of Ice,
Temperatures in the upper-20s and
Visibilities of one-half mile, or less, at times.

There is a chance of a mix of Light Snow, Freezing Rain, and some Sleet beginning late this morning and into the afternoon.

The precipitation will become steadier later this evening and at that
time will predominately consist of Freezing Rain and Snow.
The Icy Precipitation will continue into Monday night and then
change to mainly Snow from before tapering off late Monday night.

Travel will be hazardous due to the impact from
Significant Snow and Ice Accumulations, along with reduced Visibilities.
Be prepared for Slippery roads, limited visibilities,
and use caution while driving." ~ National Weather Service
