White Out Conditions Monday Morning
It is a dangerous morning to be traveling around the Finger Lakes due to moderate to heavy snow and strong, gusty winds.
Near white-out conditions are ongoing across much of the Finger Lakes due to the combination of snow and wind. Snowfall rates in some areas are exceeding one inch per hour while wind gusts are pushing over 40 mph.
if at all possible, stay off the roads this morning.
Conditions will only very slowly improve through the morning and into the afternoon hours.
The snow will gradually taper off to some snow showers by the midday hours. The eastern Finger Lakes will likely hold onto the snow the longest, thanks to Lake Ontario.
The wind will be slower to dissipate, with gusts over 30 mph continuing into the afternoon.
By this evening, all snow should have ceased and the wind will become much lighter.
