WATERTOWN, N.Y. – Several communities across the Great Lakes region are preparing to be blasted by feet of snow as winter weather moves in just as millions of people across the U.S. ring in 2025.
Numerous communities along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario have been placed under either Winter Storm Watches or Lake-Effect Snow Warnings as the region once again gets set to dig out from under feet of snow after a brief pause in the treacherous weather conditions.
The US’ first weeks of 2025 will be gripped by a rush of arctic air
The Winter Storm Watches stretch from Ohio to New England and include cities like Cleveland and Syracuse and Watertown in New York.
A Lake-Effect Snow Warning is also in effect for portions of the region, including Erie, Pennsylvania.
Much of western and northern New York could see anywhere from 3 inches to 3 feet of snow, as arctic air begins to make its way in from Canada.
