Buffalo, NY – Residents in the Eastern Lake Ontario region are bracing for a significant winter storm bringing heavy snow and hazardous conditions overnight. Areas including Oswego, Watertown, and Lowville remain under a winter storm warning until 6 a.m. Tuesday.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the storm is expected to produce 4 to 8 inches of snow, with wind gusts reaching 50 mph. The strong winds and heavy snow will create whiteout conditions and significantly reduce visibility, making travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening.

The NWS warns of widespread blowing snow, which could cause tree damage and scattered power outages in the region. Whiteout conditions are particularly likely on rural roadways and open areas, and officials urge residents to avoid unnecessary travel.

Precautionary measures include having an emergency kit in your vehicle and charging electronic devices in case of power outages. Motorists should exercise extreme caution and monitor real-time updates from local authorities.

The storm is expected to ease by Tuesday morning, but residual blowing snow could continue to affect visibility during early commutes. Residents are encouraged to report snow totals to the NWS via its website or social media platforms.
