Oswego, NY – A Lake Effect Snow Warning has been issued for New York’s Eastern Lake Ontario region starting Monday at 4 p.m. through Wednesday at 1 p.m. Forecasters expect heavy snowfall, with total accumulations between 1 and 2 feet in the most affected areas.

Wind gusts of up to 35 mph will create blowing and drifting snow, leading to poor visibility and dangerous travel conditions. These conditions are expected to significantly impact Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes.

Areas just miles apart may experience vastly different conditions, ranging from heavy snow to clear skies. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution, prepare for low visibility, and expect snow-covered roads.…
