Baby, it's cold outside: Upstate New York sees frigid temps this week
ALBANY — After relatively mild conditions for the first part of winter, more typical weather settled across upstate New York on Tuesday, prompting wind chill advisories and causing travel troubles in places where up to two feet of lake-effect snow was expected.
Conditions were treacherous on Interstate 81 north of Syracuse on Tuesday morning, where a state plow went off the highway and got stuck at 6 a.m. Snow was cited as the cause of a fatal crash Monday afternoon in the Cortland County town of Lapeer, where a woman died after her car slid into the path of a truck.
The National Weather Service posted lake-effect snow warnings through late Wednesday morning in counties east of lakes Erie and Ontario. Frigid temperatures are also forecast, with wind chill warnings posted from midnight to 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Up to two feet of snow had fallen in some spots since the lake-effect snow began Sunday, weather service meteorologist Jim Mitchell in Buffalo said Tuesday. The southern shore of Lake Ontario is expected to get 10 to 18 inches by Wednesday, he said.
Temperatures overnight were expected to drop into the single digits across the state with wind chill readings of 15 below. In northern New York and the Adirondacks, the temperature was expected to plunge below zero, with wind chill readings of 20 to 30 below on Wednesday.
