lake effect snow

Hang on to your hat. Gusty wind conditions that could be strong enough to knock out power are on the way in Central New York.

Snow it begins. The first lake-effect snow of the season could bring several inches to Central New York, just in time for the Monday morning commute.

Heavy rainfall is expected by the end of the week in Central New York and it'll be followed by Old Man Winter bringing in a cold front to end the weekend.

Here's what you need to know to keep your refrigerated food safe for your family.

It seems like most of the country, even Florida, has gotten snow. But Mother Nature somehow forgot about Central New York, where grass can still be seen. Someone must have reminded her because here it comes. Lake effect snow, sleet, and freezing rain are all expected this weekend.

Old man winter is about to make his first real visit here in Western New York, and the State is bracing for impact, and rolling out the reinforcements.

Mother Nature may be saving her worst for last. Just weeks away from Spring and the biggest snowstorm of the season may be days away, dumping snow in feet.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for CNY until 10 am tomorrow. Travel will be difficult in some areas.

The National Weather Service (NWS) is calling for decreased snow amounts across much of region except Northern Oneida.

It's possible that parts of New York State could get upwards of 3 feet of snow by Wednesday.

It looks as though Ol' Man Winter will be making a brief appearance in Upstate and Central New York later this week. 

UPDATE: A Lake Effect Snow Advisory has also been put into effect for Central and Southern Oneida County. The National Weather Service has issued an extended Lake Effect Snow Warning for Northern Central New York. It will begin at midnight on Friday.
