NY weather update: Lake effect snow warning affecting Oswego County until Wednesday afternoon

The National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Oswego County on Tuesday at 3:56 a.m., which is in place until Wednesday at 1 p.m.

“Heavy lake effect snow,” the weather service remarks. The northern part of the county may see further snow accumulations of 1 to 2 feet in the most persistent lake snows, with localized accumulations of up to 2 1/2 feet likely close to the Jefferson County line.”

“With extremely poor visibility and heavy snow cover on the roadways, travel will be extremely challenging. The meteorological agency notes that some important roads may close for a while. “Think about postponing your trip. If you have to travel, drive very carefully. Give yourself more time to get to your destination and give yourself plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Steer clear of abrupt acceleration or braking, and exercise extra caution when turning or going up slopes. Until the weather improves, you should remain inside. Wear layers if you must go outside. A bulky coat won’t keep you as warm as multiple layers of clothing. To lower the risk of hypothermia or frostbite, cover any exposed skin. Wearing a hat, scarf, and gloves will prevent you from losing body heat.
