Expand Sorry, but temps of 30-32F will not lead to icing on any well traveled paved surface (especially treated ones, which will be most of them) during daylight and even after sunset. Yes, there could be a glaze on lightly traveled neighborhood roads, driveways, and sidewalks, but there will very likely not be any widespread icing event on the secondary and major roads in NYC, LI, CNJ and NENJ (south of 80). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinRP37 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I understand about being cautious but the number of closures today is absolutely ridiculous. Roads are still warm from last night plus they are out salting. Doesn’t really turn bitter until well after dinner in most of the metro.

They are always worried about that and err on the side of caution when they hear the possibilty of ice especially when schools haven't had that many days off due to weather so far. It does look stupid to the public when it's a non event though. Up here it was absolutely necessary to close schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yea some storms are pretty obvious going to not warrant closures like the anafront event we had lol. This is more legit because it was a very tricky forecast and as opposed to snow even a small amount of ice can be a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That’s the thing though we knew around the city when you wake up to 54 degrees and a relatively clear radar that you could have gotten in at least a half day of school.

The Euro and HRRR says that Rockland still gets 0.20-0.30" liquid over the next 6 hours. That's going to build up fast especially considering the light intensity.
