Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A winter storm watch has been issued from 7 AM Tuesday - 7 AM Wednesday for
the southern Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga Region, western and central
Mohawk Valley, Schoharie Valley, Helderbergs, and eastern Catskills.

A winter storm watch has been issued from 1 PM Tuesday - 7 AM Wednesday for
the Greater Capital Region, northern and central Taconics, Washington,
eastern Greene, and western Columbia Counties in NY, southern VT and the
Berkshires of MA.

A light to moderate snowfall is possible late TUE pm into Tuesday night for
the mid Hudson Valley, southern Taconics, and Litchfield County CT.  A
Winter Weather Advisory may be needed later in time.

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

In addition, heavy lake effect snow is possible for the western Adirondacks
late Wednesday night into Friday.

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