Cold temperatures have settled into the region on this first day of 2026. Highs will only reach the teens to near 20, with wind chills in the single digits and even below zero at times.

Most areas will see a break in accumulating snow today, with only light additional snow accumulations southeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Lake effect snow will become better organized again tonight through Friday, with an intense band of snow developing southeast of Lake Ontario centering on Oswego County most of the time. Extremely heavy snowfall rates in the most intense portion of the band will likely produce major travel impacts across Oswego County.
