Slip slidin

December
31

To their credit, crews from the Town of Clarkstown and the state Department of Transportation were out early, hitting the roads with material shortly after the snow began to fall in Nanuet. Crews in other towns likely were out too, and good thing.

Where roads were treated this morning, the going was easy. But where trucks hadn’t yet been, the going was pretty slippery.

Just about 9:30, the snow in West Nyack changed from an almost mist of light flakes to heavier, chunky-style globs.

The forecast for tonight is frigid, with wind chills of close to zero degrees anticipated for midnight in Times Square, which, in my book, makes it a good place not to be. That goes double for what likely will be slick, frozen roads on New Year’s Eve.
