Slippery Ice Expected for Thursday AM Commute
A winter weather advisory is in effect until late Thursday morning, as temperatures drop into the teens — icing over roadways and walks.
Update 5:58 a.m., Thursday:
Metro-North announced Thursday morning:
"For Thursday, Feb. 6, Metro-North anticipates operating regular service. Due to the continued extreme winter weather, the railroad may experience weather-related problems. Customers should check the website's service status box at left [on the Metro-North website, here] and listen for station announcements. We also encourage you to sign up for email alerts or download the Metro-North Train Time App.
Original article, Wednesday:
This week's latest winter storm may be over, but travel conditions will once again be slick tonight into Thursday morning's commute as temperatures drop into the teens — and the light freezing rain and melting slush ice over.
Because of this, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Darien, as well as much of the rest of the region.
The meteorologists warned that the combination of slushy surfaces and dipping temperatures will lead to "widespread black ice tonight into Thursday morning as standing water re-freezes."
The advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. on Thursday.
