Syracuse, N.Y. — The lake effect snowstorm<\/a> that started Monday night will continue today, with another 1 to 2 feet of snow possible in some parts of Central New York by New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

What meteorologists call a \u201clong-duration event\u201d has already dropped 7 inches of snow in parts of Central New York.<\/p>\n

The snow is blowing off Lake Ontario in narrow bands that can oscillate over time, spreading snow like a fire hose. That means snow totals can vary significantly over just a few miles.<\/p>\n

How much snow could you get through New Year\u2019s Eve in Upstate NY snowstorm?<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA heavy band is expected for Onondaga, Madison, and Oneida counties from mid morning through this evening, and 1 to 2 feet of snow will be possible,\u201d the National Weather Service said early this morning. \u201cNear-blizzard conditions can be expected at times today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winter storm warnings, the highest level of alert, remain in effect through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A travel advisory<\/a> is in effect for Madison and Onondaga counties. Onondaga County offices will be closed today except for emergency services.<\/p>\n

The peak wind gust reported Monday in Syracuse was 52 mph. The winds won\u2019t be that extreme today, topping out at about 35 mph, but still strong enough to blow around the fluffy snow and cause slippery roads and poor visibility.<\/p>\n

Winds should taper off overnight. The snow could linger into New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Syracuse, N.Y. — The lake effect snowstorm that started Monday night will continue today, with another 1 to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[560,41272,16987,35183,9,11,10,2577,41273,35184,8555,10500],"class_list":{"0":"post-84526","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-kids","9":"tag-lake-effect","10":"tag-liverpool","11":"tag-long-branch-park","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-headlines","14":"tag-new-york-news","15":"tag-outdoors","16":"tag-plow","17":"tag-sledding","18":"tag-snow","19":"tag-truck"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
