First 2008 Snow May Be Coming

Kiss the unseasonably warm weather of last week good-bye. A coastal storm is "brewing" in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to arrive in the New York region tonight. An "intern" meteorologist told Newsday, "This is a change in weather pattern. We know the abnormal weather patterns can't stay forever. We're trending toward more of a wintertime pattern."

The predictions vary, but what's being mentioned is "rain, sleet, and snow" and "messy commute tomorrow morning," and up six to eight inches for NYC and Long Island. However, today we'll have above-normal temperatures in the 40s, but the change in weather may start as soon as 6PM, with some rain, changing to a mix of rain and snow around midnight.
