More Freaking Snow in Central New York

There's snow and then there's what we've seen this winter in Central New York.

The staggering amounts that have fallen in the past two months is starting to hamper life. Roofs are collapsing under the weight. Plows are running out of room where to put it all.

Enough already!

Sure, snow is great for winter enthusiasts who like to ski, snowboard, snowmobile or just have fun in all that white stuff. Especially since we haven't seen much of it over the last several years.

Lake Effect Snow Warning

A Lake Effect Snow Warning is in effect until 6 AM Wednesday, February 19 for most of Central New York.

The National Weather Service says anywhere from 8 to 15 inches could fall in Oneida County and up to 2 feet is possible in Oswego County. That's in addition to the 35 MPH wind gusts creating whiteout conditions and negative wind chills.

"Travel will be very difficult to impossible. Areas of blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility."

Mother Nature should calm down by Thursday and give us a break from the snow and cold temperatures by the weekend.
