Special Weather Statement issued March 4 at 9:58PM EST by NWS Binghamton NY

Effective: Wed March 4, 2026, 9:58 PM
Expires: Thu March 5, 2026, 8:00 AM

Wet surfaces from widespread snowmelt today are expected to freeze tonight as temperatures drop below freezing. This will allow for patchy black ice to develop on untreated road surfaces. Travelers tonight and into the early morning hours should take extra precautions while driving as black ice is difficult to see at night. Walkways, parking lots and driveways may also see black ice form, causing slippery conditions for pedestrians.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
