Riverhead Town residents awoke today, Saturday, to find about two inches of wet white snow had coated the outdoors overnight, though the snowfall had already turned to rain by daybreak. 

But weather officials say there’s about two to four more inches to come in the form of snow and “a trace of ice” in the afternoon, according to a National Weather Service winter weather advisory that’s in effect until 6 p.m.

The high temperature will reach about 34 degrees with a low of 27.

Motorists are urged to drive with caution.
