Frozen Frontier: Central New York Braces for Prolonged Arctic Blast

Now that you've shoveled several feet of snow from the first massive storm of 2025, get ready for an arctic blast to hit Central New York.

Not only will the below normal temperatures hang around for awhile, Old Man Winter may bring more snow too.

The National Weather Service says we won't see anywhere near the amount of snow we just did. Thank God!

"Unlike this last event that brought feet of snow to Oneida county, the flow will be much more northerly and there wont be a multi lake connection."
