Ice Storm Heads into Area

Massapequa slips and slides into morning commute.

January was a month of record breaking snowfall, now Massapequa is dealing with an ice storm.

The nasty weather moved into the area early Tuesday morning, leaving a coating of snow that later changed over into a wintery mix of sleet and freezing rain.

A winter storm warning remains in effect for the area through Wednesday night as anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow and sleet might accumulate a wll as a quarter to 4 tenths of an inch of ice.
