Westchester Sees First Snowfall of 2012

LARCHMONT, N.Y. -- A thin layer of snow blanketed Westchester streets Monday evening.

Earlier in the day, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all of Westchester County beginning at 9 p.m. Monday evening and lasting through 10 a.m. Tuesday for freezing rain, sleet and snow.

Snow, which could get heavy at times, began to fall around 9 p.m. Monday and forecasters say an inch of snow could accumulate by 3 a.m. Tuesday. The snow is expected to turn into rain by around 11 p.m.

The overnight low is expected to be in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Tuesday's forecast is a high near 48 degrees with a 90 percent chance of rain, accumulating to one half of an inch. Scattered showers could continue early Tuesday night with a low around 35 degrees.

The National Weather Service says motorists need to use caution when driving on bridges and overpasses where icy spots can develop. Travel, particularly for the morning commute, is expected to be hazardous.
