Rain, snow and ice could cause slippery travel in Northeast on Sunday
Any roadways and sidewalks left untreated are likely to turn icy where freezing rain and sleet are falling
Spine-tingling temperatures this weekend for Northeast
The freezing rain threat shifts to the Northeast on Sunday with very hazardous travel conditions likely across Pennsylvania into upstate New York. It will peak during the mid-morning hours before temperatures warm above freezing through the afternoon ending the threat.
Another storm system is impacting the Northeast and thanks to some colder air a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is possible.
FOX Weather forecast models show the highest threat for icing appears to be around the Catskill Mountains in New York, western Massachusets and southwestern Vermont where upwards of .50" inches of ice could accumulate.
Some accumulation of ice is expected for interior regions of the Northeast.

A glaze of ice, generally less than 0.10 inches, is possible over a broader area from the central Appalachians northeastward through New England.
Any roadways and sidewalks that are untreated will likely to turn icy where freezing rain and sleet are falling. Meteorologists advice residents especially in the interior region of the Northeast to use extra caution if you must travel because of the hazardous driving conditions.
Forecast for Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022.
