Residents in parts of Upstate New York and Northeast Ohio are bracing for an intense multi-day lake effect snow event, with forecasts predicting up to 6 feet of snow in certain areas. Following a wintry mix on Thanksgiving, major travel disruptions are anticipated as lake effect snow warnings and winter storm watches are issued for multiple counties, including Jefferson, Lewis, and Erie. Authorities have urged motorists to postpone travel plans due to projected whiteout conditions and significant accumulation. With heavy snow likely to impact travel routes over the holiday weekend, local officials are closely monitoring the situation and providing continuous updates. The National Weather Service is warning that the severe conditions could stretch well into the week, affecting both local communities and travel across the Great Lakes region.
