It is too early to be specific about what areas will see the most ice potential but a trace or more is possible over the entire region. Winter Weather Advisories will likely be needed in some areas once confidence in ice amounts increases. *Mid to late Week:* Periods of above freezing temperatures, snow melt and rain will lead to rises on area rivers. Although river flows are not expected to reach flood levels on their own, river rises may be enough to cause some ice break up and movement which could lead to some localized ice jam flooding.

NWS Albany - Freezing Drizzle Will Result in Locally Slippery Travel This Morning - Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 - 515 AM
by ALB Stormreport - NOAA Service Account 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

**** The information in this email pertains to the following areas only:**** *- In Massachusetts: Berkshire County* *- In New York: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Schoharie Counties* Dear Emergency Managers and other partners, A Winter Weather Advisory for patchy freezing drizzle and freezing mist is in effect for the Mohawk Valley, Schoharie Valley, Helderbergs, Capital Region, eastern Catskills, northern and central Taconics and the Berkshires through 10 AM. A Winter Weather Advisory is also in effect for the western and central Adirondacks through 1 PM. A nearby frontal boundary is allowing for patchy freezing drizzle and mist this morning. Although the precipitation is light and spotty, a thin glaze of ice may form, especially on untreated and elevated surfaces. This icing will result in locally slippery travel until temperatures fully rise above freezing later today. Areas of light icing could persist on untreated ground surfaces for several hours after temperatures rise above freezing, given our recent extreme cold spell.
