Extended Winter Alert: Eastern New York and Southern Vermont Face More Snow, Ice, and Travel Hazards!

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:

  • Eastern New York: The Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys, Greater Capital District, Lake George Saratoga Region, Helderbergs, northern Taconics, and Washington County.
  • 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.
  • Reduced visibility: Blowing snow could make it hard to see while driving, so take it slow.

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.
  • Stay updated: Check local weather reports before heading out. Conditions can change quickly.

When Will It End?

The snow is expected to taper off early Saturday morning, leaving behind chilly conditions and a fresh blanket of snow.

Take it easy out there and stay safe, whether you’re driving or just walking to your car. Winter’s making its presence known tonight! ❄️🌨️
