The National Weather Service issued a lake effect snow warning for Oneida County on Sunday at 10:50 a.m., which would last until Monday at 1 a.m.

“Snow with a strong lake effect. The weather service reports more snow accumulations of two to five inches. “3-6 inches has already fallen across portions of northern Oneida county, prompting the upgrade from advisory to warning.”

Snowfall and blowing may cause visibility to decrease below 1/4 mile. Heavy snowfall can swiftly cover roads, making them extremely dangerous, according to the weather service. “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. If at all feasible, people should postpone their 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. Verify that your vehicle is in good operating order and has been winterized.
