STORM WATCH

Periods of wet and wintry weather arrive this weekend.

The MTA has swiped down MetroCard refunds for riders affected by Superstorm Sandy.
The agency says it won't reimburse unlimited 30- or 7-day cards purchased before the storm hit.
A member of the commuter advocacy group Straphangers says he's not shocked by the decision, adding that free fares offered on the Thursday and Friday following Sandy were a good gesture.
