We knew this day would arrive sooner than later and it did not disappoint if you love winter weather!
If you don't, today was probably not your favorite weather day in recent memory.
Most snow showers were fairly brief and light today, but there were a few quick heavier ones across parts of the east end of Long Island this afternoon.
If you still have not shared your snow videos from today, please feel free to share those with me and News 12 LI on social media.
Continue to dress warmly this evening.
It still feels like the 20s to low 30s at best with a gusty westerly wind that will only drop into the 20 to 30 mph range this evening. That is still an improvement from some isolated 40 to 60 mph gusts across Long Island earlier today. Those gusts led to scattered wind damage and some isolated power outages. While a few additional power outages cannot be ruled out, the wind does improve a bit overnight and into early Wednesday.
The rest of the week will feel better during the day than today felt, but you will still want a coat. The mornings will still be cold, too with most morning lows over the next few days in the low to mid 30s. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 40s to mid-50s for the foreseeable future.
Next rain chances, other than a brief rain shower tomorrow, will be scattered rain showers throughout the day on Sunday. There are no significant snow chances in sight...for now.
Have a great evening and stay warm!
