Winter is officially here in New York State and a massive cold front is set to bring snow to almost all of New York this weekend.

The arctic blast will drop temperatures and produce snow, some heavy at times, for most of New York State. The hardest hit areas will be near Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and in Central New York.


 

There have already been a couple of Winter Weather Watches issued for parts of New York for this weekend.


If you are traveling this weekend in New York make sure to have a snow brush, ice scraper, and other winter necessities in your vehicle just in case you become stuck somewhere.
