Frigid air, winds cause dangerous conditions

Frigid air and high winds are causing dangerous travel conditions throughout the eastern U.S. after a powerful winter storm pummeled the region over the weekend.

The National Weather Service forecasts Monday’s temperatures will be more than 20 degrees below normal across the Northeast, with gusty winds and wind chills approaching minus 40 degrees in northern New York and Vermont.

The high in the Tri-Lakes Monday will be around 6 below with wind gusts up to 35 mph and wind chill values as low as 40 below. The lows Monday night will be 18 below to 24 below zero.

The bitter cold is expected to stymie travel once again with FlightAware reporting nearly 280 flights canceled as of Monday morning.

Another storm system is already developing over the Rockies that could blanket the same region with more snow by the end of the week.
