Superstorm93 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wow. That was by far the most terrifying 3 mile drive I have had in years. Heavy snow changed seamlessly into very, very heavy sleet. Roads are a freaking nightmare. Accidents ALL over town and I was sliding like crazy.

IntenseBlizzard2014 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I don't think Westchester is at any danger of switching to rain right now. I've seen these scenarios play out many times, and we hold onto the cold a lot better than NYC or NJ. Besides, 850s are still cooling and surface temperatures are mostly in the upper 20s throughout the County. Interesting. The Sleet is calming down here.
