... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 7 PM this evening to 1 am
EST Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Winter
Storm Warning for heavy now... which is in effect from 7 PM this
evening to 1 am EST Thursday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer
in effect.

Snow will move into the region this evening... continuing through
the day Wednesday... before winding down late Wednesday night. The
steadiest and heaviest snowfall will occur Wednesday afternoon.

Total snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches are expected by
Wednesday evening. The highest amounts will likely occur across
the Poconos from far southern Luzerne to southern Pike County.
As the storm intensifies off the East Coast... north winds will
increase to 20 to 30 mph... with higher gusts possible. This will
result in blowing and drifting snow Wednesday afternoon into the
overnight hours.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow
are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an
emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight...
food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
