... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 4 am Thursday to 7 am EST
Friday...

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Winter
Storm Warning for snow... which is in effect from 4 am Thursday to 7
am EST Friday.

Steady snow is expected to develop Thursday morning... generally
between 7 and 10 am. The heaviest snow should occur during the
afternoon and early evening hours... when snowfall rates of 1 to 2
inches per hour are possible.

By the time snow begins to taper off late Thursday night... storm
totals of 8 to 12 inches are anticipated... with localized amounts
of 12 to 18 inches on the hilltops... and where any heavier bands
are able to set up.

Important considerations for this storm will be both the heavy wet
nature of the snow... and increasing winds late Thursday afternoon
and night. Sustained winds should pick up to 15 to 25 mph by early
Thursday evening... with gusts of 30 to 35 mph. Scattered power
outages... and some tree damage... can be expected.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected. Significant amounts of snow are forecast
that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. In
addition... heavy wet snow could cause scattered power outages.
