More Winter Coming for the Mid-Hudson Valley: Work Week Weather

The latest storm brought more snow Monday morning, causing some school districts in the Hudson Valley to delay opening for a couple of hours.

And the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory till 6 p.m.

Quite a contrast, eh? On Friday in Poughkeepsie the high was 78 degrees and 36 hours later, it was 33 degrees, Hudson Valley Weather pointed out.

The arctic chill that set in Saturday will continue for the next few days. That plus rain, sleet and snow on Monday could make for a tricky Tuesday commute.

"Plunging temperatures Monday night will cause any wet or slushy areas on untreated roads and sidewalks in New England or southern New England to freeze," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said.

While the snow chances end for at least now, Mother Nature is keeping a lid on temperatures this week. It’s going to feel like winter several days this week, and we could drop into the teens late Tuesday.
