The National Weather Service has warned that a lot of snow is coming to parts of New York.
This snow, called lake-effect snow, will make it hard to travel because of strong winds and poor visibility.
The worst of the snow is expected east of Lake Ontario.
People in these areas should be careful because the weather can change quickly and make driving dangerous.
The National Weather Service has issued winter weather alerts for upstate and central New York.
Heavy lake-effect snow is expected from late Wednesday through Friday morning.
