DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE ROADS SLICK

Written by: Brian Neudorff

I am going to use this morning's blog post as a way to keep you updated on what is going on as you get ready for your Friday. The light snow started around midnight and was still very light when I left to come to the station around 3:30am. I noticed on my way in that although there wasn't much snow the roads were coated and were slick. Since then we have seen a steady light snow continue. Based on what I've seen here in Rochester at the WROC studios, we've only seen about an inch.

UPDATE 11AM: Snow continues across Western New York, as the clipper system slides to our southeast we are starting to see some lake enhanced snow which will transition over to lake effect later this evening and Saturday morning. Rest of the day will feature snow showers which should produce another 1 maybe 2 inches of fluffy snow. This could continue into the evening commute.

Temperatures will also continue to drop and lake effect bands will begin to set up off the southern and southwestern shores of Lake Ontario. Look to Scott's post last night on snow amounts as my thinking has stay consistent with his.


UPDATE 8AM: Still light steady snow this morning, reports from Tom George that the number of traffic accidents on the interstate has dropped to about a half a dozen but still numerous reports of vehicles sliding off into the ditch. It isn't that bad but everyone just needs to give them selves plenty of time and slow down for the slick conditions.



The light snow will continue the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon. Lesser amounts are still likely north of the thruway with 1 to 3 inches in the city. In Livingston and Ontario counties, around 2 to 4 inches with the most falling along the New York, Pennsylvania boarder.

If you have a snow report please let us know. You can comment here on this blog, you can email it at weather@wroctv.com or even send me a tweet if you are on twitter: @BrianNeudorff
