Heads up New Yorkers! Snow squalls are in the forecast for tomorrow, and conditions could change rapidly during the morning commute. Drivers should anticipate periods of low visibility and slippery roads. Strong wind gusts could cause instances of near-whiteout conditions.

“When you have cold air, the moisture content of the snow decreases so instead of having this East Coast cement, it’s this fluffy, champagne powder that is more typical of what you find in places out West. It is fantastic.” - Atmospheric Sciences Research Center at UAlbany's Scott McKim nypost.com/2025/02/05/lif…

A very windy day to your Friday, winds gusting near 60mph up at Malone, and many other sites across WNY reaching above 50mph! Impressive temperature change over the last 24 hrs between Chazy (+28F) and Clymer (-14F), both at completely opposite ends of the State! #nysmesonet
