Buffalo, NY – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for the Eastern Lake Ontario region, with lake effect snow expected to impact travel conditions until 1 p.m. Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, areas including Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties could see an additional 3 to 5 inches of snow, particularly in the most persistent bands. Higher snowfall totals are expected across the Tug Hill Plateau.

The advisory warns of difficult travel conditions due to rapidly changing visibilities and road conditions. Drivers should exercise caution, especially in areas experiencing heavy snowfall.

Lake effect snow typically forms in narrow bands, meaning some locations could see intense accumulation while others remain relatively clear. Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates and report snowfall totals through the National Weather Service’s website or social media channels.

Stay prepared and allow extra time for travel if heading out this morning.
