The entire area will get several inches of snow and sleet followed by freezing rain. This will cause travel issues. Snow will spread quickly across the rest of Central NY after sunrise Tuesday. From midday onward, snow will mix with or change to sleet and freezing rain from south to north (taking until late afternoon-evening for NY Thruway
northward). A wintry mix will continue through Tuesday night.

Gusty winds on Wednesday combined with the weight of ice on trees/lines could lead to power outages. 

  • Snow heaviest along-north of NY Thruway corridor. 3 to 7 inches of
    snow possible farther south across the rest of Central NY-Northeast
    PA; uncertainty in amounts due to how much ice may mix in.
  • Freezing rain amounts of around a tenth of an inch possible across all
    of Central NY and Northeast PA; as much as a quarter inch for the
    Poconos-Catskills.
  • As storm leaves Wednesday, 30-40 mph wind gusts expected. This
    along with the weight of ice on trees may lead to a few power outages.

Travel will be difficult with several inches of snow likely and a glaze of ice from freezing rain. High pressure will move through the area Thursday before another storm moves into the area on Friday.
