Winter Storm Watch issued January 22 at 6:50PM EST until January 26 at 7:00PM EST by NWS Buffalo NY

Effective: Thu January 22, 2026, 6:50 PM
Expires: Fri January 23, 2026, 10:15 AM

* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow and blowing snow. Additional snow accumulations 2 to 3 feet in the most persistent bands. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph will produce significant blowing and drifting snow. Widespread heavy snow possible late Saturday night through Monday evening. Significant accumulations possible. * WHERE...The Eastern Lake Ontario Region. The greatest accumulations will focus across the Tug Hill Plateau during the lake effect snow today through Friday. * WHEN...For the Winter Storm Warning, until 7 PM EST Friday. For the Winter Storm Watch, from late Saturday night through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult with deep snow cover on roads and very poor visibility. Travel within the most intense portion of the band may be nearly impossible at times. The hazardous conditions will impact the Thursday morning and evening commutes. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Widespread light snow this evening, and then another round of significant accumulating lake effect snow is expected Thursday night behind the Arctic front and continuing through Friday.

Snow will result in snow covered roads and limited visibilities. Slow down and use caution while driving. Submit snow reports through our website or social media. During lake effect snow, the weather can vary from bands of locally heavy snow with greatly reduced visibilities to dry conditions just a few miles away. Be prepared for rapid changes in weather, visibility, and road conditions.

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 30 to 40 below zero expected North Country, especially across the higher terrain of the Tug Hill region. * WHERE...Jefferson and Lewis Counties. * WHEN...From 7 PM Friday to 1 PM EST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 30 to 40 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Coldest wind chills as low as 40 below zero are expected to be near the Tug Hill Plateau, with values of 25 below zero or colder elsewhere.

This is a potentially dangerous situation to be outdoors. If you must be outside, be sure to cover all exposed skin. Frostbite can occur in 15 minutes or less with apparent temperatures of 25 below zero or colder. Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly.
