Near Blizzard Conditions Possible In Brooklyn and NYC Friday Night and Saturday Morning

From the great storm of 2011. By MK Metz

Get your carrot noses and cute button eyeballs ready -- the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Brooklyn, New York City and Long Island from Friday evening through Saturday morning.

Right now the prediction is for from 4 - 10 inches of snow, winds from 25 -35 mph with gusts up to 60, and temperatures in the low 30s.

Be careful driving - visibility will be less than a quarter mile at times.

From NOAA:

* TIMING...FRIDAY EVENING INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

* IMPACTS...HEAVY SNOW WILL MAKE FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING
  CONDITIONS. 

* IN ADDITION...THE HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS
  COULD RESULT IN NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...

  BRING DOWN SOME TREE LIMBS... 

  AND CAUSE SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.
