Areas in pink will see some ice accumulation during the storm and areas in dark pink could see significant ice accumulation of up to around 0.20 inches. (See second image above.)

There will be a wintry mix with snow at times overnight into Tuesday.
The chance for sleet and freezing rain will continue until around 9 a.m. Tuesday south of 1-287 and the Merritt Parkway when the temperature is expected to rise to the mid 30s.
North of those areas, the chance will last through the afternoon as the high temperature will struggle to get above 33 degrees. The high temperature will be in the upper 30s farther south.
Skies will gradually clear Tuesday evening and overnight, leading the way to a mostly sunny and cold day on Wednesday, Dec. 18, with the high temperature in the low 30s.
