Forecast

The timing will be for the rest of the day across New York and northern New England. We will see the snow clearing out from west to east and also will see the alerts expiring from west to east through the day. Additional accumulations will be 1 to 3 inches on the southeast side of Lake Ontario as well as northern New England’s mountains.

Winter Weather Impacts

Expect continued icy spots in areas that received a fair amount of snowfall. The air behind the weather system is cold, so much of the snow and ice will stick around over the course of the next couple of days. Take it slow on the roads and watch your step!

Winter weather alerts are expiring for most places.
