the ground, but you're seeing them over parts of long island, the hamptons, back towards riverhead, and islip. the leading edge of the arctic air is right here, and that will be here in probably less than 12 hours. so mostly cloudy tonight, a few flurries, a brief snow squall, not that big of a deal in terms of snow. noontime tomorrow, once that wind kicks in, you're really going to kick it. the arctic air moves out on president's day. we get temperatures above freezing by then, but not before. and then monday night into tuesday, a storm system comes through that may start out as snow,

his first year. tees up this three to get it started. and then porzingis will get the lob in here, keep for the easy jam. i mean, even if they tried to play defense in this game, which they didn't,

jersey. seconds left, oh, my! the inbounds to matt montelo and from three quarters quart, banks how about that, huh? on the carmelo potential three-way trade, a lot has to happen for that to go
