Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A winter storm watch has been issued from 7AM Tuesday - 7AM Wednesday
for Herkimer, Hamilton, Warren, Fulton, Montgomery and Northern Saratoga
Counties.  Seven or more inches of snow is possible for the winter storm
watch area.  Winter Weather headlines may be needed for the remainder of
Eastern New York and Western New England if confidence increases. The snow
may mix with rain during the day Tuesday from the Capital District, south
down to the mid-Hudson Valley and into Northwestern Connecticut.
Precipitation is expected to change over to all snow Tuesday night.

A bitterly cold air mass will move into the region Wednesday afternoon and
persist through Friday. The combination of the cold temperatures and winds
will produce dangerous wind chills, especially Wednesday night through
Thursday. This will likely cause some isolated problems with frozen pipes
and broken water mains.

Please see attached briefing for further details regarding the upcoming
storm and dangerous cold.
