Albany, NY – Winter weather advisories are expanding across portions of eastern New York and southern Vermont Thursday, November 12, as accumulating mountain snow threatens to create slippery roads through Friday. Some of the highest elevations could receive up to 5 inches.
According to the National Weather Service in Albany, advisories cover portions of the Adirondacks, Catskills and southern Vermont, with snowfall amounts varying by elevation and location.
In New York, Hamilton and northern Warren counties are under an advisory from 10 a.m. Thursday until 10 a.m. Friday, November 13. Snowfall totals could reach 3 inches, with isolated amounts of 3 to 5 inches on the highest mountain peaks.
Affected communities include Long Lake, North Creek, Warrensburg, Bolton Landing, Johnsburg and Hague.
Across southern Vermont, elevations above 1,500 feet in Bennington and western Windham counties face similar conditions. Areas near Stratton, Londonderry, Stamford, Pownal and Woodford State Park are included in the advisory region.
Farther south, a separate advisory covers elevations above 1,500 feet in western Greene and western Ulster counties in New York.
That advisory begins at 7 p.m. Thursday and continues until 1 p.m. Friday, with up to 4 inches of snow possible.
Communities in the affected Catskills region include Hunter, Windham, Tannersville, Prattsville, Woodstock and surrounding mountain areas.
Slippery roads are the primary concern, particularly on elevated routes, rural roads and mountain passes where snow accumulates.
The National Weather Service also cautions that sidewalks, stairs and driveways could become icy, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
Motorists should reduce speeds, allow extra travel time and prepare for changing conditions as snowfall develops Thursday and continues into Friday.
