WEATHER ALERT: Shovel Out and Salt Before Bedtime

The snow, sleet and freezing rain that have been falling since last night will stop before sundown, and that’s a good thing, because it will give people time to clean off their cars and sidewalks before everything freezes solid.

“Tonight temps will plummet to dangerously cold levels, any snow or ice not dealt with today will only become a permanent fixture with a very cold airmass locking in place,” warn the meteorologists at Hudson Valley Weather.

Hour-by-hour forecast details:

Snow will end after 3 p.m. Temperatures will hover around 23-25 degrees from 3-8 p.m.

By 9 p.m. the thermometer will have slid to 17 degrees.

Temps will then drop, hour by hour, to a low of 9 degrees at 6 a.m. But with the wind chill, it’ll feel like -6.

The high on Tuesday could reach 24 degrees at 3 p.m.
