First Winter Weather Advisory of Season Will Impact CNY Commute

Here we go! It's the first Winter Weather Advisory of the season in Central New York.

Snow and ice will create slippery road conditions. And it could cause more problems than an average winter day since several drivers seem to forget how to safely travel on snow-covered roads.

Winter Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 7 PM Wednesday, November 8 to 9 AM Thursday, November 9 for Southern Oneida, Otsego, and Delaware counties.

Old Man Winter will only leave up to a half inch of snow, so you won't need a shovel. It's the ice that'll be a problem with up to one-tenth of an inch expected. 35 MPH wind gusts may create some visibility issues too.

The highest chance for a light glaze of ice will be across the higher terrain of the eastern portion of the counties. Ice will be mainly confined to colder, elevated surfaces, but could also impact bridges and overpasses.
