How the Day Will Unfold

A fast-moving system will bring a quick burst of snow on Tuesday morning.

Accumulations will start light, and temperatures are expected to climb into the lower and mid-30s, which is a heat wave considering the frigid temps we have been feeling lately.

Looking Ahead

After the cold front moves through, expect a transition to lake effect snow showers tonight into Wednesday. That’s when most of the snow accumulation is likely to pile up, so make sure your snow shovels are ready, and your snow boots are within reach.

Overall, it’s a mix of quick snow, a little ice, and more snow to finish off the day — basically, the classic Central New York winter combo.
