Massive Snow Storm Heading Our Way
A potentially dangerous storm that could dump between 8 and 16 inches on Schroon is expected to arrive here on Monday night and go through to Wednesday. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for northern New York. From The National Weather Service:
The storm is a result of two storms which will bring blizzard conditions to parts of the Northern Plains and a wintry mix of precipitation into the Mid-Atlantic Sunday night through Monday. As one storm reaches the Atlantic, heavy snow is possible over upstate New York and parts of New England Monday night into Tuesday.
