Massive Storm Warning! Have These Ready In New York State

The lake effect snow machine is about to drop one to three feet of snow across portions of New York State. As we wait to see where the band will set up and what towns get the most snow, there is a day to prepare before the snow starts to fly.

The winter took some time to get here and that is a blessing and a curse.
