school delays

The National Weather Service in Binghamton issued a Special Weather Statement for snow covered and slippery roads for the morning commute.

Cold temperatures continue to be a concern for much of the Twin Tiers through at least midday January 11 while a blast of lsnow has coated some roadways.

A slippery weekend is giving way to a frigid start to a new week.

There seems to be an increase in the number of police calls for tow trucks as plows aren’t able to get down residential streets due to mis-parked cars.

Motorists could still encounter some unexpected slippery conditions while walking could also be hazardous on sidewalks and driveways.

Heavy, wet snow is causing slushy driving conditions and headaches for local power companies.

Road crews have been busy keeping ahead of the latest winter weather in the Twin Tiers through the night.

The latest weather challenge facing the Twin Tiers is coming in the form of mixed precipitation.

Instead of a couple of inches of snow for the Greater Binghamton area, weather spotters reported half foot totals or more around the region March 14 into early March 15.

The persistent snow prompted over a half dozen school districts in the region to call in delayed openings overnight February 4-5.
