Syracuse, N.Y. — The Great Lakes snow machine is spinning up again this week, and the first significant amount of snow is aimed at Central New York, according to the National Weather Service.
Most of the region is expected to pick up 2 to 5 inches of snow through early Thursday under a winter weather advisory, according to the National Weather Service. Higher elevations could up to 7 inches.
Farther north, the lake effect bull’s-eye on the Tug Hill plateau is once again in play.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for the eastern Lake Ontario region, where the highest terrain could see 8 to 16 inches of snow by Thursday afternoon. Lower elevations nearby may see 3 to 6 inches.
“Lake effect and upslope snow showers with patchy blowing snow continue this evening into tonight,” the weather service said.
The snow will continue into Friday and the weekend.
