A band of winter weather is expected to impede early Monday travel in Eastern New York, northeastern Pennsylvania, and parts of New England, with mixed precipitation and slippery road conditions projected until 10 a.m.
The National Weather Service offices in Buffalo, Binghamton, and Albany have issued Winter Weather Advisories from 2 a.m. until 10 a.m. EDT Monday. The affected areas include the Tug Hill Plateau, Northern Oneida County, the Catskills, and portions of western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and southern Vermont.
Higher elevations might see snow accumulations of up to 3 inches (ca. 8 cm), with a light sheen of ice likely on highways, bridges, and overpasses. Wind gusts may exceed 40 mph (ca. 64 km/h), particularly on north-facing hills in areas such as the Tug Hill Plateau.
Commuters should prepare for icy roads and poor visibility on Monday morning. Officials warn drivers to slow down and allow for extra travel time.
In New York, updates are provided through 511NY. Pennsylvania drivers can check road conditions at 511PA.com. Residents are encouraged to report snow and ice accumulations to their local weather offices via social media or official NWS channels.
Prepare for delays, dress warmly, and avoid needless travel before 10 a.m. Monday, as circumstances worsen.
