... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7 am EST Thursday...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow remains in effect for the capital district... eastern Catskills... Mid Hudson valley... Berkshires and Litchfield Hills through tonight... mainly across the higher terrain until 7 am EST Thursday.
Periods of light snow will affect the region through tonight. Up to 2 inches of additional snow is possible by sunrise... with the most in higher elevations... for total snow accumulations up to 4 inches locally.
Temperatures have generally reached around the freezing mark. However... untreated roads and surfaces will likely remain very slick... especially on bridges and overpasses... with additional snow on top of the mixed precipitation that has already fallen.
This latest wintry precipitation event is the result of two storms lifting northeastward across the region... which will then pull away by late tonight.
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
