Long Island Weather: More Snow Headed Our Way

Over a half foot of snow fell on parts of Long Island Tuesday and more is on the way.

The National Weather Service says 2-3 inches of snow is likely to accumulate on the island Thursday night into Friday morning.

First, though, we could be dealing with a treacherous Wednesday morning commute as a hazardous weather outlook has been issued for the island.

"Black ice is expected on untreated surfaces tonight into Wednesday morning as any residual moisture or slush freezes," the outlook says. "Travelers are urged to used caution during this time."
