We're celebrating the new year with some snow showers this evening. Although the snow showers will be scattered and only a dusting is expected for most of the island, the timing of the snow would impact people heading home from midnight countdown parties.
Snow showers will reduce driving visibility at times and could make sidewalks or untreated roads slippery. Take it slow. The highest snow totals will be east of Islip, mainly toward the east end.
