Syracuse, NY – A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 4 p.m. Thursday for central New York and northeast Pennsylvania, as mixed precipitation continues to impact travel conditions. Drivers should expect slick roads, particularly on bridges and overpasses.

According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, additional snow and sleet accumulations of up to half an inch are possible. Winds may gust as high as 30 mph, further reducing visibility and making travel hazardous. The advisory includes cities such as Syracuse, Binghamton, Scranton, and Ithaca.

Officials urge motorists to slow down and use caution while driving. In New York, travelers can check updated road conditions by dialing 511. Pennsylvania drivers can access real-time roadway updates at www.511pa.com.

Residents are advised to watch for icy sidewalks and driveways when heading outdoors. Even a light coating of ice can increase the risk of slips and falls. The winter weather is expected to ease later this afternoon as temperatures moderate.
