Winter storm causing school cancellations, hazardous driving conditions around central New York

National Weather Service, Binghamton

Winter storm warnings continue for much of central and western New York, as a nor'easter moves its way along the East Coast. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for almost all of central New York until Thursday morning. Jefferson, Lewis and Oswego Counties are under a winter weather advisory. 

Madison and Onondaga Counties have issued travel advisories during the storm. Driving conditions around central New York could be hazardous, especially during the morning commute on Wednesday.

Officials say if you have to drive during the day Wednesday, drive slowly and leave plenty of room between your car and the car in front of you.

The weather is also causing some school delays and closings.

On Thursday, skies will be mostly cloudy and most of the region should see a few snow showers. Highs on Thursday will be near 35.
