Winter's First Snow Blankets Babylon

The first measurable snow of winter 2012 fell on Babylon as accumulations of up to four inches were seen across the village.

Snow began falling in the overnight hours and by daybreak, a coating of perhaps two inches covered the ground. Around noontime, the snow changed to a mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain.

Most main streets and side streets throughout Babylon Village appeared to be plowed and street-clearing teams could be seen throughout the community during the afternoon hours.

But if the forecast for the next few days proves correct, the snow will not be here for long. According to Weather.com, Sunday’s forecast calls for a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 37 degrees, while the outlook for Monday has showers in the forecast with a high of 51 degrees.
