Winter Storm Could Bring 5 to 9 Inches of Snow to Utica and Rome

When is this winter going to be over, for crying out loud? Just when all the snow has pretty much melted, another winter storm is on its way - and this could bring some significant snow.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Oneida County along with several other counties. The storm is expected to bring 5 to 9 inches to the region, and make for a sloppy commute Friday morning.
