be traveling across the region be prepared for rapid changes in
Road and visibility conditions.
If you lose power and plan on running a generator... make sure
that the generator is located outdoors and is properly
ventilated. Space heaters should also be properly ventilated and
used only if they are operating properly. Make sure snow does not
block exhausts and fresh air intakes for high efficiency furnaces
and water heaters.

Special Weather Statement
... Lake effect snows to continue into this morning...
The lake effect snow bands have become stationary east of Lake
Ontario this morning. Snowfall rates of one half to one inch per
hour will still be possible across far northern Oswego... southern
Jefferson and Lewis counties including the Tug Hill region. Expect
visibilities to be reduced to one quarter mile or less at times in
the heaviest snow showers.
Travel east of Lake Ontario will remain difficult this morning within
the lake snow bands as steady accumulating snow and drifting snow
will keep many roads snow covered and slick. Motorists should
allow extra time to reach their destinations.
