First off if you're south of central CT, there won't be any snow for you to shovel! The bad news for those north of that line though won't be the snow as much as it will be the wet ground freezing into ice. So for those of you seeing rain during the day and snow during the night, just be careful of black ice on the roads and for any ice hiding under the snow.
The surface map may not look like much, but the radar tells another story.
The north will have frigid temperatures with highs in some areas only at -10°F and the wind chills will be even worse with -40°F widespread but -50°F locally. Lows will be in 30° to 40° below zero as well.
New Years at midnight for many areas will be quite cold as well, and Times Square will be around the mid 20's so not too bad (last year was around the same within a few degrees).
After today's the wet day we'll be in the clear until Thursday when the temperatures will drop even more and many areas will see snow showers. Make sure you have your umbrellas at the ready for today though.
