Bundle Up, Hamilton

Sat, Jan 22, 2011

While the Greater Hamilton Metroplex has so far been spared the mega-snows forecast for much of Central New York, the next several days will bring some of the coldest of the winter thus far.

The National Weather Service in Binghamton is predicting some modest snow but temperatures -- and windchills -- of concern to witches, well drillers and brass monkeys alike.

The three-day forecast looks like this:

Today: Scattered snow showers, mainly before 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 13. Wind chill values as low as -4. West wind between 6 and 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Tonight: Snow showers likely, mainly after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around -1. Wind chill values as low as -8. Calm wind becoming south around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Sunday: A chance of snow showers. Cloudy and cold, with a high near 7. Wind chill values as low as -13. West wind between 6 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Sunday Night: A slight chance of flurries before 1am. Partly cloudy, with a low around -19. Northwest wind between 4 and 7 mph becoming calm.

Monday: Mostly sunny and cold, with a high near 7. Light and variable wind.

Monday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around -5.
