Effective: Mon January 26, 2026, 12:26 AM
Expires: Mon January 26, 2026, 5:00 PM

* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches allowing for storm total amounts of 10 to 15 inches, with some localized totals of 15 to 20 inches over the eastern Catskills, mid Hudson Valley and western New England. * WHERE...All of northwestern Connecticut, western Massachusetts, southern Vermont and eastern and east central New York. * WHEN...Until 7 PM EST this evening. * IMPACTS...Travel will continue to be dangerous early this morning due to snow covered roads and reduced visibility. Travel conditions will improve through the day on Monday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Steady light to moderate snowfall will continue into early to mid morning hours before tapering to snow showers and flurries by the late morning and afternoon hours. Breezy conditions this afternoon may allow for some drifting of snowfall, especially in high terrain areas.

Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing your body heat. Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
