LIFORECAST

Three pints should do the job. And maybe next year there'll be a Christmas miracle. Christmas tree industry is pretty well known for feast and famine in terms of supply and demand. So I think things will get better. If you don't feel like cutting your own, you can always buy a pre cut tree. Prices are up, but balsams will run you less than a fur at a big box store. And of course, you can always buy an artificial one and use it year after year happy holidays. Everyone. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. I saw a video on Instagram the other day, Sebastian Maniscalco asking what are they charging for Christmas trees by you? It's everywhere, it's going up and you know, depending on what type of tree you want. If you want the larger tree, those Frasier 1st 10 ft and higher. Yeah, those are the difficult ones to get this year. But uh you know, hey, whatever you do, no matter what the tree decorate it with the family. Have fun doing it. Enjoy the holiday season. Mostly cloudy skies today. There will be the threat of a passing rain or snow shower this afternoon and that's more of a nuisance. Most of our day will be dry and it will be cold temperature around 41 degrees for that hyper local high. And here's the other issue that northerly wind. Yeah, that's gonna make, it feels like temperatures, well, generally in the twenties and thirties. So that's what you need to dress for going throughout the day. Plus with all the clouds around and a little bit of moisture, it has a chill to the air, some snow showers and flurry north and west. And every now and then this afternoon, there may be one or two quick little rain, snow showers or flurry or Sprinkle moving on over Long Island. Take a look at this at around +343 45 there's a cold air temperatures around 38 to 39 degrees and there's that little stray flurry, snow shower, Sprinkle rain shower coming our way. Much more of a nuisance. A festive flake or two coming on through and that threat is with us through about 8 p.m. Then overnight skies clear tomorrow morning, lows are in the twenties to around 30. It's cold Thursday morning and then during the day on Thursday can't rule out once again, a quick little snow shower or a rain shower into Thursday afternoon for the start of Hanukkah. As we go towards sundown on Thursday, it's going to be cold. Temperatures are going to be in the thirties and towards sunset, a slight chance of a quick rain or snow shower and then we're dry overnight, Thursday into Friday. And by Friday afternoon we finally warm up. Now over the weekend, this is going to impact some of your plans and also will impact some of those holiday decorations because there's a threat of heavy rain, Sunday, late afternoon, Sunday evening and early Monday morning. And as the cold front approaches Long Island strong winds, there's a potential of winds, 40 to 50 MPH coming our way late Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening. So we'll have to watch this very closely and the impacts on Long Island highs today and in the low forties, lots of clouds, it's cold chance of that passing rain or snow shower, twenties for tonight. And we do have a warm up after the cold starts of Hanukkah fifties. Friday, Saturday, stormy weather near 60 on Sunday. Oh.

we continue our Storm Watch team coverage in Long Beach and that's where we find news twelve's Liz Bourke conditions continue to be tough in the city of Long Beach between the strong winds and the low visibility. It is tough to get around. It is really important to stay home and avoid any type of driving. Several snowplow operators are out in full force, working hard to try and clear the roads because of the strong winds. The snow continues to blow back onto the roads, making for a challenging situation. There are several emergency routes in Long Beach, including shore road between Maple and Long Beach boulevards. They need to be kept clear for plows and emergency vehicles. We spoke with residents of Long Beach who stepped outside to brave the elements and check out the conditions. I love this stuff. I usually go and walk around on the storms and this one's a little windy. This one's a little vicious. It's a light snow, but there's a lot of it. It's not too wet, so it's not too strenuous. But again, you're shoveling two minutes later it's back. I think it's pretty cool. We like to always kind of come out, look at the ocean. Usually there's a lot of surfers out there, but today there happens to be none. I kind of like the quietness right now. What do you think of this weather? Well, it's pretty brutal. It's pretty brutal. I love to know, but this is a little on the side and authorities stress that people need to stay off the roads so that snowplows and road crews can do their job in Long Beach Liz Bourke News 12 Long Island. All right, Thank you, Liz and just take a look at this. This is our fleet. As soon as we get the video up, this is our fleet of our thunderbolt vehicles out on the roads across the Tri State. We have everything you need to know to keep you safe if you have to head out. But of course, if you don't just stay home.
