Boonville, NY – A fresh round of wintry conditions is hitting northern New York, with residents in Boonville and surrounding areas under a Winter Weather Advisory through 8 p.m. Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, snow will continue throughout the day in Northern Oneida County, bringing up to two additional inches of accumulation. Gusty winds up to 35 mph are expected to accompany the snowfall, reducing visibility and creating slick road surfaces.
Officials warn that hazardous travel conditions may affect both the morning and evening commutes. Drivers are urged to reduce speeds, allow extra time, and be prepared for sudden changes in road traction. The advisory area includes Boonville and nearby routes where snow-packed roads and wind gusts may contribute to reduced control, especially on untreated surfaces.
Temperatures in the region are expected to remain near freezing, intensifying the potential for black ice during nighttime hours. The weather event, although relatively light in accumulation, is notable for its timing in mid-April, when winter conditions are less common in the area.
Residents can call 511 for updated road conditions statewide and are encouraged to check local school and transit service alerts for potential disruptions.
