New York – Breath hangs in the air this morning as the cold grips the Southern Tier. Sidewalks crunch under boots, and car doors groan in single-digit temperatures. Winter conditions remain locked in, and another round of snow is already lining up before the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, temperatures remain well below normal through midweek. Morning readings started near zero, with afternoon highs struggling to reach the 20s. Winds stay light, but the cold air alone makes it feel sharper, especially before sunrise.
Light snow showers may brush the region at times today, though impacts stay limited. Conditions turn quieter Wednesday and Thursday, with partial sun but continued cold. Highs top out in the low to mid-20s, while nighttime temperatures fall back into the single digits. Any melting during daylight hours may refreeze quickly after sunset, increasing the risk of slick spots on untreated roads.
Attention then shifts to Friday. Snow showers are likely across Broome County and nearby areas, with precipitation chances near 70 percent. Accumulations appear light, but timing matters. Snow during the day could leave wet pavement, followed by a rapid freeze Friday night as temperatures drop toward zero again. Drivers along I-81 and Route 17 should prepare for reduced visibility and icy patches.
Looking beyond the weekend, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook signals a pattern change. Temperatures trend above normal late next week, hinting at a gradual February thaw across much of the Northeast. For now, winter remains firmly in control.
Plan extra travel time later this week. Keep blankets and gloves in vehicles, and watch for black ice after dark. How cold did it feel where you live this morning?
