STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 A monster storm has dumped over a foot of snow on Staten Island, leaving many residents with one question: When is this going to melt?<\/p>\n

This \u201cbomb cyclone,\u201d which refers to a storm that rapidly intensifies offshore, has brought strong winds, below freezing temperatures and snow drifts as high as 18 inches to the borough, said Bill Deger, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.<\/p>\n

** HERE ARE LIVE UPDATES FROM THE STORM<\/a> **<\/p>\n

According to Deger, this accumulation won\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should melt pretty quickly. We\u2019re talking about highs in the 30s tomorrow; we\u2019ll be above freezing with some sunshine returning,\u201d he said in an interview with the Advance\/SILive.com. \u201cSo unlike the storms we saw last month, where it had plenty of cold air that came in after this, one doesn\u2019t have that cold air coming in after it. So we should see some steady melting of the snow for the next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean it is going to be an easy cleanup process. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a long dig out. Especially in more densely populated areas, this is going to take some time,\u201d Deger said. \u201cIt may take until late in the week for some roads to be cleared out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wintry weather midweek?<\/p>\n

Although meteorologists are predicting temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s for the rest of the month, Deger does warn of possible wintry conditions mid-week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could see a little light snow with a system on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning,\u201d he said. \u201cThursday, it\u2019s above freezing as well, with maybe some more flurries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 A monster storm has dumped over a foot of snow on Staten Island, leaving…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-142782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
