Winter Weather Advisory Issued: 5 Inches Of Snow In Upstate NY & Western MA This Weekend

As we near mid-April, winter weather continues to affect parts of Upstate New York.

March was more like a lamb, and April has been more like the lion!

While we have not gotten a huge April snowfall, we have had plenty of smaller instances of wet snow and mixed precipitation. That trend will continue this weekend, with some areas expected to get up to 6 inches of snow.
