Binghamton, New York – A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for northern Oneida County as accumulating snow is expected to create hazardous travel conditions through Thursday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, the advisory is in effect from 1 p.m. Wednesday until 1 p.m. EST Thursday, affecting northern Oneida County, including the Boonville area.
Forecasters say snow accumulations between 3 and 7 inches are expected during the advisory period. Snowfall may become steady at times, leading to rapidly changing road conditions as the system moves through the region.
The National Weather Service warns that travel could be very difficult, particularly during the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes. Snow-covered roads, reduced visibility, and slick surfaces are expected, especially on untreated roadways.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling, allowing extra time to reach destinations and maintaining safe following distances. Conditions may worsen quickly during heavier bursts of snow.
Residents are encouraged to monitor forecast updates as snowfall amounts and timing become clearer. Up-to-date road conditions are available by calling 511, which provides real-time travel information across New York.
Forecasters note that conditions should gradually improve Thursday afternoon as snowfall tapers off, though lingering slick spots may remain on secondary roads.
