Some struggling, working families in Suffolk County will soon be paying less for child care.

A new grant will allow about 300 Suffolk families to contribute about 10 percent less to their child care costs.

Officials say the average family will save about $583 a year.

Only working families who are at or slightly above the poverty level are eligible.

The change will go into effect in March.

To go to other charities. Make sure you tell them I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. You can see Janice is bundled up there taking a look outside. It's windy out this morning. The camera is moving. Winds have been around 20 to 30 MPH sunshine this morning. A few clouds this afternoon with the chance of a few flurries out there as well. With the cold weather conditions, the air is coming straight out of the Arctic towards Long Island. So a quick shot of a bitter blast with the sunshine this morning wind chills with that gusty wind. Air temperatures in the thirties. It feels more like the twenties. So what do you need to do? Dress in layers, the gloves, the hat and the scarf. Now for winter standards, it's overall not terrible. But again, we're still in November. This is our first good shot of colder weather with a gusty wind. You can see, feels like temperatures in the twenties. Some snow showers north and west watching this as we go into our afternoon between one and 4 p.m. there will be a chance of a few flurries or a passing snow shower, bundle up Greg, the warm boots, grab the gloves, the hat and the scarf, especially if you have to be outside for a prolonged period of time.

We're looking at breezy cold weather and again, the threat of a few flurries or a passing snow shower for our afternoon clouds will build this afternoon after a lot of sunshine this morning at around 233 30. Again, there's our little flurry or snow shower passing through. And with that gusty wind, it feels like the twenties. It's dry for the evening rush hour, but it's cold right through tomorrow morning. And then again, the winds will be with us through Wednesday wind chills in the twenties this afternoon going into the teens by the time we go towards Wednesday morning and then a slow warm up by Thursday and Friday, you can see by Friday clouds are coming in a south westerly wind, that's a warming wind and that will lead to some showers towards Friday evening high.
