Heads up, everyone! The Winter Weather Advisory has been extended until 4 AM Saturday for parts of Eastern New York and Southern Vermont. Snowfall is expected to continue overnight, creating slippery roads and reduced visibility.
Who’s Affected:

- Southern Vermont: Including Bennington and Windham counties.
What to Expect:
- Snowfall totals: 3 to 6 inches of snow by the time the storm winds down early Saturday.
- Icy, slippery roads: Snow-covered roads and sidewalks will make travel hazardous, especially during heavier bursts of snow.

How to Stay Safe:
- Driving: If you have to be on the road, give yourself extra time and drive cautiously. Slow down and leave plenty of space between cars.
- Be prepared: Keep your car stocked with winter essentials—blankets, water, snacks, and a phone charger—just in case.
