Shawdesh Desk:

Snow and freezing temperatures are going to make travel dangerous this weekend.

Late Thursday, weather experts from the Hudson Valley shocked some residents by sharing news of a last-minute weekend snowstorm.

Weekend Snowstorm To Impact Hudson Valley

“I’m closely monitoring the potential for accumulating snow on Sunday & Sunday night,” metrologist Ben Noll wrote on Facebook.

Timeline For Snow In The Hudson Valley

Friday morning, Noll provided a timeline for the weekend snowstorm.

Noll expects snow to start falling Sunday afternoon, “and fall at a moderate intensity during the evening.” Snow should stop early Monday morning.

“Temperatures will fall from the 30s to the 10s during the storm, with the snow becoming increasingly powdery. This will make it easy to clear — and easy for it to pile up. Roads will become snow-covered and slippery late Sunday into early Monday,” Noll states.

Don’t Leave These 6 Items in Your Vehicle When it’s Freezing

Don’t Leave These 6 Items in Your Vehicle When it’s Freezing

USA Today has shared six items that need to be removed from your car during freezing temperatures. While some of these might seem obvious, there might be a few you’ve not considered before.

6. Cell Phones/Electronic Devices

Avoid leaving your phone in your car during sub-zero temperatures. Extremely cold conditions may result in the device switching off or could potentially damage the battery. Such low temperatures could even result in the screen cracking.

Canva

5. Canned/Bottled Beverages

To avoid a mess in your car, remove cans and bottles when the temperature drops below freezing. Freezing causes the container to expand and potentially burst, causing the contents to spill all over your car.

Canva

4. Canned Foods

When temperatures drop below freezing, ensure you remove all your groceries from your car. This is because canned foods, like beverages, have a high water content. The water can freeze, causing it to expand, which may break the seal of the can and lead to spoilage.

Canva

3. Musical Instruments

Do not leave musical instruments in your vehicle when the temperature drops below freezing. The intense cold can cause the wood to fracture, and even if this doesn’t occur, they are certain to lose their tuning. It’s unappealing to listen to an off-tune instrument, and no one wants to bear the cost of fixing them.

Canva

2. Medications

Certain drugs can lose their effectiveness if they get too cold.

Canva

1. A Low Gas Tank

Ensuring your tank is over half full can prevent your fuel lines from freezing. Checking other liquids, like antifreeze, is also beneficial. Cold temperatures may influence your tire pressure, so monitor that closely too.
