Slippery travel conditions across eastern New York and western New England tonight through Saturday as areas of snow produce light to moderate snowfall accumulations. The potential for additional light snow, mainly for portions of the MidHudson Valley, Taconics and western New England, increases the potential for another brief period of slippery travel conditions Sunday evening/Sunday night. The potential for moderate to potentially heavy lake effect snow is increasing for portions of the Southwest Adirondacks Monday evening through Wednesday but little impacts are anticipated given the highly localized area that snow will fall in. Below normal temperatures are largely expected for next week with breezy winds making for biter cold conditions at times.
