The Village of Fonda is issuing a Snow & Winter Advisory and Level 2 Snow Emergency due to a significant winter storm impacting eastern New York and the surrounding region.

The National Weather Service (Albany, NY) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for all of eastern New York and western New England.

Expected Conditions

  • Total snowfall accumulations of 12 to 18 inches
  • Snowfall rates may exceed 1 inch per hour, especially on Sunday afternoon and evening.
  • Reduced visibility due to heavy snowfall
  • Wind chills approaching -9°
  • Snow-covered and icy roadways
  • Light snow may continue through much of Monday into early Tuesday

Travel is expected to be very difficult and potentially dangerous, particularly Sunday night through early Monday.

Travel Advisory

Residents are strongly encouraged to limit travel to essential needs only, such as medical needs, emergencies, or mandatory work. If travel is necessary, please use extreme caution and allow extra time.

The National Weather Service recommends keeping the following in your vehicle if travel is unavoidable:

  • Flashlight
  • Food and water
  • Warm clothing or blankets
  • Fully charged phone

Parking Restrictions – To Support Snow Removal

To allow DPW crews to safely and thoroughly clear village streets, no parking is permitted on village streets during the following overnight hours:

  • Sunday, January 25 – 6:00 PM to Monday, January 26 at 7:00 AM
  • Monday, January 26 – 6:00 PM to Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00 AM

We kindly ask residents to move vehicles off the street during these hours so plows can access all areas. Vehicles left on the street may need to be relocated if they interfere with snow removal operations.

Community Reminder

Please check on neighbors who may need assistance, limit time outdoors due to extreme cold, and take precautions to prevent frozen pipes and heating issues. Public Works crews will be working extended hours throughout the storm as conditions allow.

Updates will be posted on our Public Notice Page, or check Local Weather Media and Emergency Management Web Sources.
