UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) — New York is under a state of emergency as a severe winter storm impacts the area.<\/p>\n

Gov. Kathy Hochul expanded the emergency Monday due to a lake effect snow system that began in the morning, with winds reaching 70 mph in western New York.<\/p>\n

The storm is expected to persist off Lakes Erie and Ontario throughout the week, with winds decreasing to 30-40 mph.<\/p>\n

Whiteout conditions remain possible, according to the governor’s office, particularly in the Syracuse-Metro area on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Residents in affected areas should avoid unnecessary travel and telecommute if possible, following local authorities’ guidance.<\/p>\n

Strong winds, with gusts up to 50 mph, could cause tree damage and isolated power outages.<\/p>\n

Dangerous driving conditions are anticipated due to limited visibility and potential snow squalls.<\/p>\n

Numerous weather warnings have been issued by the National Weather Service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
