Winter Storm to Bring Widespread Snowfall Across Eastern New York and Western New England
A developing coastal storm will track near, or just off, the East Coast on Tuesday, bringing a widespread swath of accumulating snowfall to much of eastern New York, western New England, and the North Country. Snow is expected to begin early Tuesday morning and continue through Tuesday night, tapering to lighter snow showers before ending early Wednesday.
A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from 7 a.m. Tuesday to 1 a.m. Wednesday for most of eastern New York and western New England due to the potential for 7 inches or more of snow in the hardest-hit areas.
Expected Snowfall Amounts
• North Country: Much of the Adirondack region can expect 3–4 inches of snow in areas such as Watertown and Newcomb, with slightly higher totals possible on the western slopes and higher terrain.
• Upper Hudson Valley / Capital Region:
Snowfall amounts of 4–8 inches are forecast for the region, including Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Albany, Troy, and Bennington. Pockets of heavier snow, up to 8 inches, are possible where banding sets up.
• Southern Vermont:
Communities including Rutland and Ludlow may see 4–6 inches, with 6–8 inches possible in higher terrain and eastward toward Lebanon, NH.
• Catskills and Mohawk Valley:
Areas such as Cobleskill, Herkimer, Hunter, and Oneonta are expecting 4–6 inches, with locally higher totals in the elevated terrain.
• Central New York:
Locations including Syracuse, Ithaca, Binghamton, and surrounding counties are generally forecast to receive 4–6 inches, with snowfall tapering farther west.
• Western Massachusetts and Northern
Connecticut: Pittsfield and the Berkshires look to receive 6–8 inches, while snowfall amounts decrease to 1–2 inches southward toward Springfield.
Further west, Torrington and parts of Litchfield County may pick up 4–6 inches.
Timing and Impacts
Snow will be heaviest during the day Tuesday, especially late morning through early evening, when travel may become difficult. Roads are expected to become snow-covered, and visibility may drop during periods of moderate to heavy snowfall.
Commuters should plan for delays, allow extra travel time, and monitor updates as the storm approaches. Snow will taper off late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning.
Further updates will be issued as new data arrives from the National Weather Service.
