The National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Herkimer and Hamilton counties on Friday at 5:38 a.m., which is in force until 7 a.m.
“Additional snow accumulations 1 to 3 inches in the most persistent lake snows,” the weather agency adds.
“Roads will probably get slippery and dangerous, especially bridges and overpasses. Be prepared for slick roads. The weather service says the dangerous conditions can affect the Friday morning commute. “If at all feasible, people should postpone any travel. Drive extremely carefully and be ready for abrupt changes in visibility if you must travel. 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. The weather during lake effect snow might range from dry conditions a few miles distant to bands of heavy snow locally. Visibilities can differ significantly as well. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather. If you have to go, make sure your car has food, drink, and an additional flashlight in case of an emergency. You can dial 5 1 1 to get the most recent road conditions for the state you are calling from.
