January 24, 2017 Morning

Good icy morning! Happy Tuesday. Three weeks to Valentines Day. Sleet (ice pellets) and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northeast breeze at 11 mph. There is about 2 inches of ice pellets accumulated along the ground. It looks like traffic is moving, a bit cautiously because the roads may still be a bit slick in spots.  

Today look for continued rain, freezing rain, and sleet before noon, then rain and sleet between noon and 1pm, then rain after 1pm. High of 33 degrees at 9am. Two degrees above normal. North wind 9 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. Total daytime sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies and a high of 29 degrees. The record high of 54 was set in 1999. 7.6 inches of snow fell back in 1948.

Tonight will continue to rain, snow, and sleet before 11pm, then a chance of snow between 11pm and 4am. Cloudy, with a low of 29 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees above normal. Northwest wind 8 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2016, it got down to 18 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. The record low of -12 occurred back in 1963.
