The National Weather Service issued a lake effect snow warning for Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties on Wednesday at 12:21 p.m., which is in effect from Friday at 7 a.m. to Monday at 7 p.m.
“Heavy lake effect snow expected,” the weather service said. In the most persistent lake snows, several feet of snow are expected to fall over the weekend. The area around the Tug Hill plateau will have the largest accumulations. It is probable that snowfall rates will occasionally surpass two inches per hour.
“Travel will be extremely challenging, perhaps almost impossible. The weather service says the dangerous circumstances will undoubtedly affect the Friday night commute. “The weather during lake effect snow can range from dry conditions a few kilometers distant to bands of locally heavy snow with significantly limited visibility. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather. 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.
