ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Happy Monday! We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and is ready to tackle the week ahead. This morning was tame weather-wise, but that will change as the day and week continue. According to Meteorologist Jill Szwed, we can expect a winter storm in the News10 area starting later this evening. The good news is we can expect a pure snowstorm without issues of rain or ice.
