Lake Effect Snow Continues...



Lake Effect snow continues to pile up east of Lake Ontario. Current Radar shows heaviest snows focused over the southern half of Jefferson cnty into western Lewis cnty. Snowfall rates will be 1-2"/hour in the heaviest core of snow. One report of 12" in Adams, NY out of central Jefferson cnty, see no reason why another 6-12" cant be achieved, and thus will continue to forecast another 6-12 across this area thru this afternoon. Those commuting on I-81 between Oswego/Jefferson line and Watertown will need to use extreme caution and prepare for very poor visibilities.

Off Lake Erie... snow has diminished considerably, with just some snow showers affecting the Genessee Valley per latest Radar. Accumulations should range from a Trace to as much as an inch or two thru this morning.

Latest model data suggest a potential Nor' Easter to affect much of the northeast in the Sunday-Tuesday timeframe, however much uncertainty exists with regard to eventual storm track which will determine precip type and amount. At this time, it appears interior portions of the northeast stand the best chance to see snow. Will continue to monitor this closely, and further address this with next update.
