You will just have to take a trip to your west we are still on 14+ inches of black ice with a couple of inches of white ice, and we are still driving out and we should still be able to drive out saturday.

i have seen 3to 6 inches of snow then changing to raim, for this area so i dont think the rain will effect the ice as much becasue it isnt going to be that warm of a rain.

Heavy snow falling with about five inches already on the ground here in Greenburgh at 7:30 AM.  The ice should hold up just fine around here.  What are other people getting?

thanks Joe glad to see you got some nice weather....last few times i've been out were absolutley gorgeous!!!...anyway HP may be a problem tommorrow with all the rain and melting from today...ice is safe (guys fishing this afternoon) but there is a fifteen foot rim of open water around the entire pond.  Some spots look as if you could walk out but you may get a little wet. i plan on bringing my boat just in case.  Hope to see you there....if not good luck and look forward to next weeks COLD spell (HIGHS IN THE TWENTIES AGAIN!!!!)
