Binghamton, NY – A powerful winter storm is sweeping across the Northeast today, bringing heavy snowfall, gusty winds, and dangerous travel conditions across parts of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island through Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. Monday for central New York and northeast Pennsylvania, and until 8 p.m. Monday for much of southern New England, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Forecasters say total snowfall of 12 to 18 inches is expected across large portions of central New York, with localized totals reaching up to 22 inches, particularly in areas such as Oneida, Onondaga, Cortland, Chenango, Broome, and Tioga counties. Snowfall rates may exceed 2 inches per hour at times Sunday afternoon and evening.
Across Massachusetts, northern Connecticut, and Rhode Island, snowfall totals of 12 to 20 inches are expected, with localized amounts of 20 to 24 inches possible in parts of northeastern and western Massachusetts. Coastal and island communities, including Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Block Island, may see 7 to 12 inches, combined with wind gusts up to 35 mph.
The storm is expected to produce blowing and drifting snow, sharply reducing visibility and making travel very difficult to impossible, especially from Sunday evening through Monday morning. Roads may quickly become snow-covered, and hazardous conditions could persist into the Monday evening commute.
Officials urge residents to delay all non-essential travel and prepare for prolonged winter conditions. Temperatures are expected to remain in the single digits to teens, with dangerously cold wind chills.
Residents are advised to dress in layers, limit time outdoors, and keep emergency supplies in vehicles if travel is unavoidable.
