What happened

The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.

A strong cold front crossed southern Vermont during the morning hours on February 7, 2026, ushering in an arctic air mass which remained in place through the morning hours on February 9, 2026.

The combination of gusty winds and air temperatures falling below zero (as low as 20 degrees below zero in spots) resulted in wind chill values (feels-like temperatures) to fall to between 15 and 35 degrees below zero for many areas during the afternoon or evening hours on February 7 into the morning hours on February 8.

Despite less wind, cold conditions persisted once again during the overnight hours on February 8 into the morning hours on February 9 with air temperatures falling to near or below zero once again (as much as 15 degrees below zero) leading to wind chill values (feels-like temperatures) between 10 and 30 degrees below zero.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 7, 6:35 AM EST, 6 hours 25 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • 1. Periods of light snow will continue to bring slippery travel conditions across eastern NY and western New England into the day today. Gusty winds could lead to some blowing snow as well re-covering already treated roads. 2. Widespread, dangerously cold conditions are expected today through Sunday, which will lead to an increased risk of hypothermia and frostbite should proper precautions not be taken to limit exposure. 3. Mainly dry conditions expected early next week with temps slowly moderating closer to normal by the mid week. Next system looks to arrive Wed into Thu with low confidence on actual precipitation type, though a snow ptype is favored at this time.

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
As of 635 AM EST...Arctic cold front has now passed through
much of the region and gusty westerly winds are occurring in the
wake of the boundary. Some gusts have exceeded 40 mph,
especially in the Capital Region. Although snowfall has been
fairly light, the gusty winds have allowed for widespread
blowing and drifting, resulting in reduced visibility. Some
additional snowfall is still expected behind the front, mainly
for upslope favored areas. Localized storm total amounts of 2 to
6 inches still possible for the northern Taconics, northern
Berkshires and southern Greens. Wind chill values still on track
to be as low as 20 to 35 below tonight into Sunday morning.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

As of 635 AM EST...Surface cold front has now passed through
the forecast area and is heading across west-central New
England. Temperatures are rapidly falling behind the front,
along with gusty west-northwest winds. Some gusts have been
reported in the 40-50 mph range, especially in the Capital
Region, and temperatures have fallen quickly from the 20s down
into the single digits and teens. Although there was a good
burst of snow ahead of the front with a light accumulation for
many areas, some additional snowfall is expected behind the
front, especially in upslope favored areas. This snow will make
for hazardous travel conditions due to snow covered roadways and
reduced visibility, as the cold conditions could also make some
treatments not as effective. The gusty winds have been allowing
for widespread blowing and drifting snow, even though snowfall
amounts have been fairly light so far. This has resulted in some
hazardous travel conditions this morning.

Even behind the front, some additional light snow is expected
for the Capital Region and into the Taconics and Berkshires, as
the upslope flow starts to take over for the morning hours.
This will primarily be through the late morning hours, although
some upslope could even continue for the highest terrain of
western New England into the afternoon hours. With an additional
few inches for these mountain areas, Winter Weather Advisory
continues for the northern Taconics, northern Berkshires and
southern Greens where some localized totals up to 5" or 6" will
be possible. The fluffy nature of the snow may allow for reduced
visibility as snow blows around and some roads may get
recovered from the gusty winds.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Behind the departing front, gusty west to northwest winds will
be occurring thanks to deep mixing due to the very cold air
aloft and a strong pressure gradient in place. Gusts have
already been in the 40 to 50 mph range this morning and will
continue to be in the 25 to 40 mph range for this afternoon and
this evening. While the wind probably won't be strong enough to
produce widespread damage, it will still be more than enough to
enhance the cold that will be moving into the region, as well as
the blowing and drifting snow.

With the cold advection in place, 850 hpa temps will fall to as
low as -20 to -25 C over northern areas. 1000-500 mb thickness
values will be nearing 500 dm, which is usually a sign for a
rather cold upper level trough over the region. Surface temps
look to fall very quickly behind the front this morning. While
most areas will be starting out in the 20s ahead of the front,
they will rapidly fall into the single digits as the front
crosses and temps will hold there or slowly fall through the
rest of the day. Some high terrain areas will fall below zero
by the afternoon hours, especially in the Adirondacks. Temps
will then continue to fall tonight, despite the strong winds,
with lows across the entire forecast area below zero. The
coldest temps will be across the Catskills, Adirondacks and
Greens where lows will be 10 to 15 below zero. With the gusty
winds still in place overnight, wind chill values will be 20 to
35 below zero. This will result in frostbite as quick as 10 to
30 minutes on exposed skin and hypothermia will be a real threat
for anyone outdoors without adequate protection from the
elements. Extreme Cold Warnings are in effect for the entire
region except the Lake George Saratoga Region, where a Cold
Weather Advisory is in effect. This is due to the expected less
wind in that areas and the higher criteria for warning-level
wind chill values. No matter the headline, it will be
dangerously cold across the entire region for tonight into
Sunday morning.

The cold headlines expire at 1 pm Sunday, but additional
advisories will likely be needed, mainly for high terrain areas
for Sunday night into Monday morning. Sunday's highs will only
be in the single digits to low teens. It will remain breezy,
although winds won't be as strong as Saturday. With lows back
below zero on Sunday night, wind chills will be 5 to 20 below on
Sunday night, with the lowest values across the high terrain.

KEY MESSAGE 3...

Temperatures should moderate early next week, as the core of
the cold air moves east of the region and there will be rising
heights and warming temps aloft thanks to the westerly flow
aloft. Each day will be gradually warmer, with daytime temps
perhaps once again finally approaching the freezing mark towards
mid week.

Models have been inconsistent regarding the potential for precip
next week. A northern stream system could bring some light
precip (probably light snow) by Tuesday night or Wednesday, but
exact timing and amounts are still uncertain. Latest NBM
suggests a chance for snow, so will continue to go with that for
now. Another system could impact the region later in the week,
but models continue to be all over the place regarding that
potential as well, so will continue to monitor model trends for
now.

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Through 12z Sunday...As of 6:15 AM EST, mainly IFR conditions due to
snow and blowing snow reducing vsbys, although POU is VFR. Through
mid to late morning, expecting mainly IFR conditions at ALB/PSF
due to snow and blowing snow, and MVFR to IFR conditions at POU/GFL
where winds will be slightly weaker. Snow showers end late this
morning or early this afternoon, resulting in a trend back towards
MVFR vsbys and eventually mainly VFR vsbys by sunset, except at PSF
where MVFR vsbys due to blowing snow may linger into tonight.
Overnight tonight, conditions improve back to VFR at all terminals,
with blowing snow coming to an end. Cigs will be mainly MVFR this
morning, trending to VFR this afternoon through tonight.

Winds have turned to the W/NW at 15-20 kt with gusts as high as
35-40kt. Expecting this to continue through much of the morning,
although gusts may subside to 25-35 kt (strongest at ALB/PSF) after
the first few hours of the TAF period. Winds remain gusty from the
W/NW at around 15 kt with gusts of 20-30 kt through this evening,
diminishing to around 10 kt with gusts to 20 kt after 06-09z
tonight.

Outlook...

Sunday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Monday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Monday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Tuesday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SN.
