Statement as of 11:13 AM EST on March 08, 2005
... A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight...
Rain will change to snow across the entire area by noontime. The snow will be moderate to locally heavy at times with a total snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches expected.
Initially... the snow will be slow to accumulate due to the warmer temperatures of earlier this morning... however... Arctic air spilling southeast across the area this afternoon will drop temperatures into the upper 20s. Travel will become hazardous as Road surfaces become icy and strong winds will cause blowing and drifting of the snow.
Although the snow will taper this evening... the combination of strong winds and temperatures dropping into the lower teens will create wind chill values of 0 to 5 degrees below zero after midnight.

Statement as of 12:58 AM EST on March 09, 2005
... Wind Advisory extended until 8 am EST Wednesday...
Northwest winds will continue to strengthen through the remainder of the afternoon as low pressure to the southeast continues to deepen.
Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph are expected to overspread the tri-state area this afternoon... with gusts as high as 40 to 50 mph. The highest wind speeds are expected to occur across the eastern sections... such as eastern Long Island and southeast Connecticut since these locations will be closer to the track of the low pressure area. These winds are expected to continue through much of the overnight.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards radio or visit our web site at weather.Gov/okx for further details or updates.
A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 31 to 39 mph or gusts will range between 46 and 57 mph. Winds of these magnitudes may cause minor property damage without extra precautions. Motorists in high profile vehicles should use caution until the winds subside.

Special Weather Statement Statement as of 7:04 PM EST on March 8, 2005
... Do not venture out through 8 PM...
Intense snow banding has developed over Suffolk County and southern Connecticut over the last hour or so. Very heavy snow and occasional blizzard conditions have been felt within these snowbands... with snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour combined with wind gusts approaching 50 mph. Fortunately the bands are moving steadily eastward... and will have moved out of most of the area by 8 PM. Until then... travel across central and eastern Suffolk County New York as well as southeast Connecticut will be difficult at best and nearly impossible at times.
Winter Weather Statement Statement as of 7:04 PM EST on March 8, 2005
... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight...
Occasional light to moderate snow will linger through early this evening with an additional inch possible. Total snow accumulation of around 3 inches can be expected.
The combination of blowing and falling snow will create hazardous conditions... with drifting snow and poor visibilities. Roads will be very icy due to the wet conditions prior to the changeover to snow and the intrusion of Arctic air.
The snow will taper off this evening... but the combination of strong winds and temperatures dropping into the lower teens will create wind chill values of 0 to 5 degrees below zero after midnight.
