Binghamton Braces for the Start of Spring

After months of snow and record-cold temperatures, Twin Tiers residents are looking forward to the "official" end of winter. Spring will arrive March 20 at 6:45 p.m.

Heavy snow showers and gusty winds caused some travel problems for drivers in the Binghamton area March 19.

Police agencies were kept busy responding to several crashes on highways and secondary streets across the region.

This view from the downtown Binghamton roundabout last May 2 is an indication of what we can expect in about six weeks.

Forecasters say a fast-moving system could bring "a few to several inches" snow accumulation, especially south of the Twin Tiers.

The storm could effect the Friday morning commute. Listen to WNBF's First News for traffic and weather together.
