ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Schools from central New York to the Adirondacks and the Hudson Valley are closed or starting two hours late as a late-winter storm blasts the region with a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
The National Weather Service reports snowfall totals early Tuesday morning range from 3 inches in the Binghamton area to nearly 8 inches in Saratoga County. The storm is mostly impacting the eastern half of upstate New York, although weather advisories are in effect for some counties in western New York.
State police covering a four-county area east of the Hudson River say they've responded to more than 80 accidents and reports of disabled vehicles since the storm started around 6 p.m. Monday. Troopers are advising motorists to exercise caution as sleet and freezing rain falls in the Hudson Valley.
