Urgent Winter Storm Update—How Much Snow Will You Be Shoveling Tomorrow

Get ready to buckle up, New Yorkers! A fast-moving winter storm is making its way through the Empire State, and it’s packing a double punch: heavy snow and gusty winds that could bring travel chaos and power outages. While New York City will get off lightly with flurries or brief snow showers, upstate residents—especially around Lake Ontario—are preparing for a whiteout. Watertown is already buried under 9 inches of snow, and there’s more on the way.

Storm Overview:

  • New York City: Expect occasional flurries and chilly breezes.
  • Upstate New York: Significant snowfall expected east and southeast of Lake Ontario, with additional snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches.
  • Winds: Strong gusts up to 45 mph will reduce visibility and make driving hazardous.

Current Weather in New York City:

  • Today: Partly sunny, 52°F (11°C) high, dropping to 25°F (-4°C) overnight.
  • Thursday: Mostly sunny but breezy and colder, with a high of 39°F (4°C).
  • Friday: Expect rain and cloudy skies, with a high of 42°F (6°C).

Safety Recommendations:

  • For Upstate Travelers: Avoid unnecessary trips. If you must drive, carry an emergency kit and stay alert for changing conditions.
  • In NYC: Roads may remain slippery; commuters should check for travel delays and advisories.
