Syracuse, NY — Parts of Onondaga County could see \u201c20 to 30 inches of snow\u201d late Monday through Tuesday afternoon, County Executive Ryan McMahon said Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
McMahon said he will issue a travel advisory later Monday. <\/p>\n
If snow falls faster than one to two inches per hour, county snowplows won\u2019t be able to keep up even when working at full capacity, McMahon said.<\/p>\n
In that event, McMahon said he would issue a \u201cno unnecessary travel\u201d declaration. That could happen overnight, he predicted.<\/p>\n
The worst-case scenario is an \u201call-out travel ban,\u201d McMahon said. <\/p>\n
The lake-effect snow is expected to begin falling heavy around 1 a.m. overnight and continue until 1 p.m. Tuesday. Winds could reach 50 to 60 mph, McMahon said. <\/p>\n
The county will partially activate its emergency operations center, intended to streamline communication between county, city, state and local officials.<\/p>\n
All county plows will be operating, McMahon said. The city of Syracuse will have all its plows out, too.<\/p>\n
McMahon said that county plows are too big to go down city side streets. If the city asked for help with main arteries, the county would lend a hand, he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Syracuse, NY — Parts of Onondaga County could see \u201c20 to 30 inches of snow\u201d late Monday through…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,10533,16681,2005,3,60376,36122,21,19,22,20,25,24,2986],"class_list":["post-376828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-editorial","tag-fayetteville","tag-new-york","tag-news","tag-snow","tag-trimble","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
