3 Days of Snow, Sleet and Rain Headed For New Hyde Park

Hope you enjoyed Monday’s sun because we won’t be seeing much of it again until Friday.

A three-day wintry mess of snow and sleet and rain is in the forecast for Long Island starting on Tuesday. It will come right on the heels of Sunday’s storm, which dropped heavier-than-expected snow across the island. See snowfall totals from the weekend storm here.

At the moment, the National Weather Service is calling for 2-3 inches of snow for almost of Long Island by the end of Tuesday night. Parts of the South Fork may see 1-2 inches. The snow will mix with sleet and rain before changing to all rain by early Wednesday morning.
