.DISCUSSION...
A lake effect snow band extending off Lake Ontario impacts the
western Adirondacks today as it gradually pushes southward with
windy and chilly conditions elsewhere. Lake effect snow shifts
through the Mohawk Valley this evening before settling south of
the area with upslope snow continuing in the southern Greens.
While we remain cold and breezy on Wednesday with lake effect
snow showers returning tomorrow night, we finally trend milder
Friday into Saturday.
