Hamilton County, NY – A winter weather advisory has been issued for Hamilton County, beginning this afternoon and continuing through Wednesday morning. Residents can expect lake effect snow bringing totals between 3 and 6 inches.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. Monday until 7 a.m. Wednesday. Snowfall will be heaviest in western areas of the county. Forecasters warn that road conditions will quickly deteriorate due to slippery surfaces and low visibility caused by heavy snow bands.
The weather service emphasizes that conditions will vary greatly across short distances. Lake effect snow bands can create localized heavy snow, while nearby areas may remain relatively dry. Travelers should be prepared for sudden changes in visibility and road conditions.
Officials urge drivers to slow down and use caution when traveling during the advisory. Those commuting or planning outdoor activities should monitor updates and adjust plans accordingly.
Hamilton County emergency management teams are on standby to assist with potential issues caused by the snowstorm. Residents are encouraged to stock up on essential supplies and avoid unnecessary travel during peak snowfall periods.
The winter weather is expected to taper off early Wednesday as conditions stabilize. For up-to-date road conditions, visit the New York State Department of Transportation website.
