Our winter storm is exiting this morning but sleet and ice accumulations from overnight freezing rain and wintry mix will lead to hazardous traveling and walking conditions this morning, including the commute. Sleet accumulations on top of snow means shoveling and clean-up efforts will be even more difficult. Exiting snow showers this morning may lead to an additional coatings to 0.5" of snow, mainly north of I-90. 

Another round of snow showers and potential snow squalls are expected this afternoon, especially in the Adirondacks, Mohawk Valley and Upper Hudson Valley, with an additional coating to one inch of snow expected. Snow squalls will lead to brief whiteout conditions. Winds will also turn gusty this afternoon, reaching 30 to 40mph. These strong winds will lead to reduced visibility in any snow showers or squalls. Temperatures are expected to warm above freezing today. High temperatures should be reached by late morning/early afternoon and range from the mid 30s to low 40s (remaining near freezing in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains). 

Lake effect snow is expected to impact Herkimer and Hamilton County starting this evening and continuing overnight with total accumulations ranging 2 to 4 inches. A Winter Weather Advisory may be issued later today to address this threat.
