Lake-Effect Snow Blankets NY with Over 5 Feet, Creating Treacherous Conditions

Upstate New York has been hit with record-breaking snowfall, with areas like Copenhagen and Barnes Corners receiving over 65 inches. More snow is expected this week, particularly in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, with up to 20 additional inches forecasted. New York City, however, is likely to see minimal snow from an approaching Alberta Clipper, with temperatures remaining above average for the season. The heavy snow in upstate regions is causing travel disruptions and power outages, while NYC prepares for potential commuter delays.
