New York – Light snow swirls across parking lots and clings to windshields this morning, while a biting breeze makes 22 degrees feel closer to single digits. Roads around Binghamton remain coated in a thin, slushy layer as crews monitor bridges and elevated ramps.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, snow showers continue mainly before midday with up to 1 inch possible. Northwest winds gust near 33 mph, reducing visibility at times along I-81 and Route 17. Expect slick stretches during the late morning commute.
Temperatures climb to about 28 degrees this afternoon, but that modest rise will not fully melt packed snow. A few additional snow showers may redevelop before early evening. Drivers should leave extra space and brake gently, especially on hills in Broome and Tioga counties.
Skies turn mostly cloudy tonight with lows near 13 degrees. Any melted snow will refreeze quickly after sunset. Flash freezing becomes a real concern this time of year, when daytime thaw gives way to sharp February cold. Watch for black ice on untreated sidewalks and secondary roads.
Friday brings gradual clearing with a high near 30. Saturday, Valentine’s Day, turns mostly cloudy but milder, reaching 38 degrees. Sunday offers partial sunshine and highs near 40 before another chance of snow showers arrives Sunday night.
Looking ahead, the 6-10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across New York. Highs trend into the 40s and possibly mid-40s by midweek, signaling a broader late-February thaw.
