New Rochelle's Snowstorm: Sunday's Forecast Calls for Sun

UPDATE: Sunday, Jan. 24 at 10 a.m.

Now that the snow is over, cleanup begins.

At least you will have sunny skies to brighten your shoveling chores.

Today’s forecast calls for temperatures in the low 30s. It will be windy so expect it to feel colder.

Tonight the temps dip to the teens.

For Monday, it will be a little warmer, but you will still have the wind chill to factor in. It will be another sunny day, though.

UPDATE: Saturday, Jan. 23, at 3:25 p.m.

The following robocall was sent at 2 p.m. by the City of New Rochelle:

It appears we’ll be going to sleep Saturday to snow falling in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

(Too bad the football playoffs weren’t on Saturday, it would have been a perfect day for it with many of us snowed in.)

As of 11AM, the National Weather Service predicted accumulation of 24-30 inches locally.

Dealing with power issues, Con Ed advises:

DO NOT touch a fallen power line or any other electrical equipment. Keep children and pets away from all fallen wires. If you see downed power lines or fallen wires please contact ConEd immediately at 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).

If a power line falls on a car or vehicle you’re in, don’t get out, and don’t touch anything outside it. The vehicle’s rubber tires will provide insulation and protect you until help arrives. Wait for police, fire, or emergency service workers.

DO NOT touch or try to fix any power lines, electrical equipment, or wires on your own. If you notice a problem, call 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).
