Syracuse, N.Y. -- The season’s first lake effect snowstorm is likely to drop heavy snow and make for difficult driving today in much of Upstate New York.

“Several rounds of lake effect snow showers, wind and any heavier snow showers may reduce visibilities,” the advisory said. “Accumulations during the day will mainly be on grassy areas, but slick spots could form at night and during any heavier snow showers.”

The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts that parts of New York - especially Central New York and the Southern Tier - could see snow earlier than usual this year. The publication’s 2025–26 winter outlook calls for a colder-than-normal start to winter in those regions, which could mean the first measurable snow arrives in early to mid-November.
