New York issues winter weather warning

ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) – Winter weather is rolling right into our neck of the woods, and state leaders want you to be prepared.

Snow is in the forecast for the north country on Friday and Governor Kathy Hochul warns the first big snow can be a shock to the system.

She asks you to monitor the forecast and take precautions if conditions look bad.

On the state level, she says they’re ready to respond to inclement weather.

“I have hundreds of personnel ready to spring into action from DOT, the Thruway Authority, wherever we need the help, and so we’re going to be there on the ground. Something we’re very familiar with, we know how to handle it,” said Hochul.

We’ll be tracking the incoming storm. Visit the WCAX weather app for the most up-to-date forecast to keep you and your family safe.
