Oswego, NY – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for parts of northern New York, including Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties, as the region braces for significant snowfall and hazardous travel conditions. The National Weather Service issued the advisory, warning that snow accumulation could range from 4 to 9 inches, with the heaviest snow expected along the Tug Hill Plateau.
The advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday, with gusty winds reaching up to 45 mph contributing to blowing snow and poor visibility. These conditions are expected to disrupt both morning and evening commutes, especially across the higher terrain of the Tug Hill Plateau and areas east of the Black River Valley.
Travelers are urged to exercise caution, as snow-covered roads and limited visibility may make driving dangerous. The storm is likely to impact road conditions, with snow accumulation potentially creating slippery surfaces.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm is expected to weaken by Tuesday evening, but dangerous driving conditions are expected to persist into the late afternoon. Drivers are advised to stay updated on local weather reports and adjust travel plans accordingly.
