MONTICELLO, NY (January 27, 2013) – Sullivan County Manager David Fanslau advises the public of the following: “The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a winter weather advisory for Sullivan County that is effective from 7:00 a.m. Monday morning through 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

“A midseason storm system will begin impacting the region early Monday morning.

Precipitation will initially fall in the form of snow before changing over to a mixture of freezing rain and sleet by mid to late morning.

“The potential exists for ice accumulations up to a tenth of an inch before precipitation changes over to all rain by early Tuesday morning. There will be expected accumulations of.between 1 to 3 inches of snow. This will be followed by ice  accumulations up to a tenth of an inch.

“Roads will become slick during the late morning and afternoon hours as snow changes over to freezing rain and sleet. Snow followed by light icing will make for a difficult afternoon and evening commute, with slippery roadways likely persisting through much of the overnight hours.

“A winter weather advisory means that periods of snow, sleet, or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
All Sullivan County offices will be open or normal business hours on Monday, January 28, 2013. If the storm intensifies, further information will be forthcoming."
