The National Weather Service's Winter Storm Watch for Brooklyn, New York City, Long Island and the surrounding area for Monday has pretty much been called off.

NOAA now is predicting 4 - 8 inches 3 - 6 inches maybe one inch, maybe two.

So drive carefully, it will still be plenty cold, but the big blizzard of 2014 isn't in the cards for Monday in New York City. (NOAA says it may hit further south, like D.C.)

IMPACTS...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL DUE TO REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS... ESPECIALLY DURING THE MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE.

Rain could mix with the snow on Sunday between noon and 6 p.m., then it will turn to all snow.

Travel will be hazardous; try to stay off the road if you can.

NYC Sanitation Department has isssued a 'snow alert' for Sunday, 3/2, @ 11 a.m. "Salt spreaders and plows will be ready."

Temperatures will be in the 20s and 30s teens and twenties. By comparison, on Friday, the coldest spot in the country was in Michigan's Upper Peninsula city of Newberry, where the mercury plunged to -41°F, according to Dr. Jeff Masters.
