A winter storm watch has been issued for New York City as the weekend forecast predicts significant snowfall. Reports indicate a potential accumulation of 2-6 inches of snow by Sunday, with heavier totals expected in surrounding areas, including the Capital Region and Hudson Valley, where up to 10 inches might fall. As the storm moves in, temperatures are set to drop sharply, bringing with it a dangerous Arctic air mass that could result in the coldest weather the region has seen in nearly two years. Preparations are ramping up across Long Island and other affected areas, with officials warning residents about hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service has advised caution and preparedness as the storm system approaches, ensuring communities are ready for both the snow and the subsequent frigid temperatures.
