"With cold infiltrating the Northeast Thursday night, it would be easy for untreated surfaces, even wet surfaces, to freeze up and bring slippery spots for the Friday morning commute," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.

Thursday will see temperatures in the upper-20s to mid-30s, with wind chills in the teens. It will be windy too, with gusts around 30 mph to 35 mph.

There will be more chances for wintry precipitation again this weekend, but again it is expected to be light, according to the National Weather Service.
