The weather outside will soon be frightful.
Upstate New York could be facing up to 6 feet of “extreme” snow as the city braces for the coldest temperatures yet this season.
Every morning is going to be essentially below freezing for the next, at least 10 days, maybe two weeks,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post Saturday. “And our afternoon highs are going to be in the low to mid-40s every day as well for this entire week.
“Looking long term to the start of next weekend, we may not even get out of the 30s,”
...
The weather pattern is not common, the meteorologist continued.
“It’s called a ‘clipper’ and we haven’t had one in quite a while,” he said. The storm features “an atomic burst of rain and snow that kind of clips the Northeast and portions of the Great Lakes … there’s a chance we may see some flakes fly in the city sometime Wednesday.”
Parts of Upstate are already dealing with Day 2 of what could be five days of disastrous amounts of snowfall.
Snowfall totals in Harrisburg, New York, about 20 miles southeast of Watertown, already neared 3 feet, and “it’s only going to go up,” Braud said. “It’s about a five-day event. This is only going to get worse,”
The extreme lake-effect snow is also affecting parts of Pennsylvania, northeast Ohio and Michigan.

New York is always getting feet of snow. I remember last year, in one storm, where they got eight feet of snow. In a couple of days, it was all gone.

Never happen...It’s too warm out..../s
It's called....a snow storm...
Let’s fire up a few coal power plants to 101 percent, I say.
That's not very dramatic. They need to change it to an Atomic Snow Bomb.....
The term “Nor’East Clipper” has been around since I was a child growing up in region.
Have they named this storm yet?
Nor Easter...yes....My brother was a Mariner...never used the word “clipper”.
i live on staten island in new york.
they’re complaining about droughts so this should help.
In the upper midwest and upper north-central states it is known as the Alberta Clipper. Winds from Canada to Texas without a mountain range to stop them.
The town where I grew up is on the shore of Lake Erie near Buffalo. This kind snow event is normal. I never saw anything even close to that during the 20 years I lived in Alaska.
The media just have to make every normal thing a crisis.
If you’re getting feet of snow in storms, it should be an easy fix to deal with droughts. Put it into a reservoir by pumping it when it melts.
I remember, in Georgia, they were talking about a long drought that had lowered the level of Lake Lanier considerably.
Finally, we got rain. The weatherman talked about how many inches of rainfall we were to get, and concluded with, "Don't get your hopes up, Atlanta. The rain won't help the drought any."
I remember thinking to myself, "If rain won't help a drought, we are really and truly screwed."
