Special Weather Statement Statement as of 7:54 PM EST on January 10, 2005
Wintry weather will return to the tri-state area beginning Tuesday afternoon as a wave of low pressure approaches the region from the west. Light snow will begin across interior sections of northeast New Jersey... the lower Hudson Valley and central Connecticut Tuesday afternoon. This will result in snow accumulations of about two inches before changing over to a mixed bag of sleet and freezing rain... and then eventually all freezing rain Tuesday night.
The New York City metropolitan area... coastal Connecticut and Long Island will see precipitation begin as a mixed bag of rain and sleet rain late Tuesday afternoon before changing over to rain Tuesday night. Eastern New Jersey may see more in the way of snow and sleet early on before the changeover.
Motorists and pedestrians should be advised for changing Road conditions during this time... as precipitation type will be temperature dependent. Some areas may see precipitation freezing to the ground quicker than others. Roads... especially untreated ones... will become icy and dangerous.

Cold high pressure will spread across New England Tuesday through early Wednesday morning. At the same time... a warm front will strengthen across the mid Atlantic states. Precipitation will develop over our neck of the Woods by mid Tuesday afternoon in advance of the warm front. Enough cold air will be in place for precipitation to be in the form of a snow and sleet mix at the onset. Snow and sleet will continue into Tuesday evening... then gradually change to plain rain by around midnight. However... if enough cold air remains at the surface... freezing rain could occur. At this time... expect an inch or two of snow and sleet late Tuesday afternoon and evening... possibly followed by some ice accretion. This could make for very hazardous travel Tuesday night.
