New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared an emergency on Tuesday in parts of the state ahead of what she called “a major, major storm.”
“As of 10 a.m. this morning, we are under a state of emergency in the 11 counties that have been identified as most at risk," said Hochul.
“This is considered an extreme event, an extreme weather event. That means it's dangerous. It also means it's life-threatening.”
She added that some areas in the state “could possibly see anywhere from four to six feet total between now and Sunday.”
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm watch for the Buffalo area, warning that multiple feet of lake-effect snow could cripple the city and surrounding area.
Hochul urged New Yorkers to “stay off the roads, be safe.”
