Upstate New York braces for up to six feet of snow as storm approaches

Upstate New York is preparing for an "atomic storm" that could bring up to six feet of snow. New York City is also expecting its coldest temperatures of the season, with freezing conditions forecasted statewide. Forecasters predict that temperatures will remain below freezing for at least the next ten days. New Yorkers are uncertain if they will see snow, as the storm is expected to mainly affect areas north of the city. In response to the severe weather, New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency due to potentially dangerous blizzard-like conditions near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
