White Plains' Weather: Snow, Rain Storms, Arctic Blast

WHITE PLAINS, NY — A little snowstorm Monday brought a bit of early morning snow to many communities in the lower Hudson Valley.

"This is a minor winter event… but the first few of the season always generate the biggest headaches, as many of us re-learn how to handle the winter weather," said Alex Marra of Hudson Valley Weather.

And we better learn fast.
