Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York state officials are urging caution and preparation ahead of a potentially dangerous winter storm system this week.

Up to eight inches of snow are expected in the Capital and Mid-Hudson Regions Sunday through Monday morning. On Sunday, up to three inches of heavy wet snow may occur in Orchard Park — fans attending the Buffalo Bills game can anticipate feels-like temperatures of 15 degrees. Lake-effect snow is forecast to develop Sunday night and continue through Wednesday for areas east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

“As winter storms, extreme cold temperatures and lake effect snow move into our state today and over the coming days, I’ve directed our state agencies to mobilize their resources as we prepare to respond to this weather system,” Hochul said in a statement Sunday. “These conditions pose an extraordinary risk to anyone who is exposed to the elements or is unable to adequately heat their home, and I encourage New Yorkers to take precautions to keep themselves and their families safe.”

Then, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night, feels-like temperatures of -25 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit are expected across much of the state.
