Syracuse, NY – A dangerous combination of strong winds and Localized heavy lake effect will not only bring the possibility of additional power outages, but also near Blizzard or White -Out in certain parts of the center of New York until Monday evening. With a heavy frosting on the trees of yesterday, it will not take much wind to break large branches of trees which in turn could fall on the lines and remove from the power from some of our neighbors. Of course, this is not a good timing since it is the middle of winter and that the temperatures work well below normal. To make things worse, there is a high threat for certain parts of our heavy snow area that comes out of Lake Ontario on a flow of wind to North-West. When combined with strong winds this evening, not only will visibility fall to zero, but it will be very difficult for road teams to continually follow the snowfall roads.
Here are the weather alerts in force for the area:
