Winter Weather Alert: Lake Effect Snow to Impact North Country Next Week

As winter intensifies in the North Country, weather forecasts predict a minor lake effect snow event tonight, but heavier snowfall is expected to return next week. Areas particularly vulnerable to lake effect snows will be covered with a winter storm watch as temperatures drop. ‘Our meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation and advising residents to prepare for potential hazardous weather conditions,’ said a spokesperson from the National Weather Service. According to reports, the snowfall could significantly impact travel conditions in the affected areas. The Rochester region is also experiencing fluctuations in temperature, with an impending cold blast forecasted right after a brief warm-up. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather information and to take necessary precautions. The conditions will include elevated risk in local snowfall amounts, particularly along the lake shores, urging people to be vigilant.
