The first Lake Effect snowstorm of the season was a big one, at least for some. Mother Nature brought anywhere from a dusting to several feet in Central New York.
Winters in Central New York are cold, snowy, and often seem to never end, dragging into April. You can bury yourself under blankets and hibernate inside for several months or you can take advantage of everything the Empire state has to offer in the winter months.
It seems like most of the country, even Florida, has gotten snow. But Mother Nature somehow forgot about Central New York, where grass can still be seen. Someone must have reminded her because here it comes. Lake effect snow, sleet, and freezing rain are all expected this weekend.
Police are investigating many weather-related crashes on the Thruway in Westchester and Rockland Counties after freezing rain made roads treacherous on Jan. 5, 2022.
If you've never been in the Empire State during a massive winter storm, especially one with Lake effect snow, there are some things you just won't understand.
