National Weather Service meteorologist Kevin Lipton said the amount of snow that fell throughout the region from the weekend storm was between 5 and 10 inches, and another weather system is coming in late Tuesday night that will bring some light snowfall.

But the main theme of this week's forecast will be an Arctic air mass that will plunge the region into a deep freeze later in the week.

“Behind that Arctic front will be much colder weather starting on Wednesday,” he said.

There is also a chance for snow on Wednesday night into Thursday. Temperatures will drop as the Arctic air that has been hanging over Alaska will be carried by the jet stream down into the continental United States.

“Thursday, Friday and Saturday, most areas around the Capital Region will struggle to reach 10 degrees above zero for a high,” he said.

Lipton advised staying indoors and covering any outdoor pipes that may be exposed.

This latest storm did not cause any major disruptions in local cities and towns. Schenectady and Albany police reported no major problems and neither declared a snow emergency. Among the communities that did declare a snow emergency were Castleton, Saratoga Springs, Waterford and Watervliet.

Saratoga Springs police said they were to begin towing cars that were not removed from the streets Sunday at 9 p.m.

Amsterdam City Engineer Richard Phillips said workers started plowing at about 7 p.m. on Saturday and continued on into the morning. Work was wrapped up by mid-afternoon on Sunday.

“Everything in general went pretty smooth,” Phillips said.
