Snowy, Windy, Freezing April Weekend on Tap
Check out the latest forecast, including snow accumulation odds by town. Freeze watch issued.

UPDATE Saturday 9:45 a.m.: Special Weather Statement Issued, Long Island Snow Total Predictions Rise Slightly
If you have outdoor plans this weekend, sorry.
No, we aren't going to get hit with the several inches of snow that earlier forecasts predicted, but it certainly won't feel like spring. A little snow and wind chill temperatures in the teens will have it feeling more like February on Long Island.
A freeze watch will be in effect from midnight until 10 a.m. Sunday as temperatures fall into the 20s across the island. The cold will kill sensitive plants if they are not protected or brought indoors, the National Weather Service says.
