Longtime mets fan. Very excited this morning. Queens boy. Well take you to the highlights in a moment. Right now one of the coldest mornings weve seen in a long time. Yeah, since april we havent seen temperatures in the 30s. You need the jackets as youre heading out the door. Feeling that chill throughout the day today. Will be a little less breezy than yesterday. Still, temperature well below average. Keeping it dry. Thats good news. Were getting milder day by day. We have these freeze warnings in effect right now. All of these counties shaded in purple, including putnam county, orange county. Temperatures are in the 20s right now in those regions.

The roads were dicey as we said this morning, several drivers and even a plow truck in newcastle, delaware lost control, many underestimated the conditions and were surprised how slick some areas were. Cleaning off cars in millville was not a difficult job because the snow was so fluffy and kids enjoyed the snow on their day off from the school making snow angels, lets head out live to david henry the jersey shore was hit the hardest by the storm. 7 inches down here, the snow is piled high on the parking lots and roadways, as you can see beh
