At 6 a.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service issued an updated weather notice for Bradford County that called for heavy snow through 6:45 a.m.
“At 5:59 a.m., a band of heavy snow was along a line extending from near Big Flats to near Springfield to near Lincoln Falls and moving east at 45 MPH,” according to the National Weather Service.
Chemung, Elmira, Corning, Southport, Barton, Big Flats, Horseheads, Sayre, Waverly, and Elmira Heights are among the places affected by the alert. The following highway exits are included in this: interstate 86/Route 17 between 46 and 66.
“In winter weather conditions, conditions can rapidly deteriorate,” the weather service says. Be ready for roads covered with ice or snow. Reduce your speed and give yourself more time to get there. If you have to drive through or into this area of deep snow, proceed with additional caution. Accidents may result from abrupt changes in visibility and perhaps slick roads.
