Good morning Yonkers, if you are taking the day off after Super Bowl Sunday like many of my co-workers did, you are lucky. As of now we have a mixture of rain and snow with the temperature between 34 and 37 degrees, the humidity is 76%, the dew point is 27 degrees, the wind is from the north at 9 MPH making it feel like 27, the barometer is 30.1 inches and rising, and your visibility is 1/2 mile. ***A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM THIS MORNING UNTIL 7 pm THIS EVENING - The advisory is for snow/rain mix and then snow.*** Snow this morning will become heavier at times this afternoon, some sleet may mix in, temps near steady in the low to mid 30s, winds from the north/north-east at 10 to 15 MPH.

P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson were killed when their plane crashed in Iowa. 8 - 1966 - The Union of Soviet Socialists Republic’s Lunik 9 soft landed on the lunar surface. 9 - 1994 - President William Jefferson Clinton ended the trade embargo with Viet Nam. 10 - 1955 - South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem instituted limited agrarian reforms.

There are weather warnings already in place for Tuesday night through Wednesday for a snow/ice event so stay on top of conditions as they approach. The Super Bowl, in my opinion, was one of the worst I can recall seeing. Seattle played a great game but where was the vaunted Denver Broncos? Peyton Manning as gained a reputation of being a choke artist in big games (though he has one ring) and little brother Eli will always be able to claim he has more rings than his brother. The Jets would have given Seattle more competition! Be careful out there this week, it looks like those six more weeks of winter might hit us hard and Id prefer the bitter cold with all snow than cold with ice mixed. As always be safe and keep smiling!
