Weather reports say the tri-town could receive 10 to 12 inches of snow on top of Friday's accumulation.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for 7 a.m. Saturday morning through 4 a.m. Sunday morning. A warning is issued when at least six inches of snow is expected in a 12-hour period or eight or more inches in a 24-hour period.

Snow is expected to begin in the morning and become heavy at times in the afternoon and evening, tapering off late Saturday night. Blizzard conditions are possible and as snowfall increases, it is likely to be accompanied by wind gusts from the northeast that may cause near whiteout conditions. The wind is predicted to be 10-15 mph with 35 mph gusts.

The National Weather Service also warns there could be sleet or ice that may affect travel.

This weather is nothing new for the area, and Rochester Police Chief Paul Magee said he doesn't expect many to lose power due to Eversource's tree cutting in recent years. Anyone whose power does go out should call the company, and of course, any emergency can be reported by calling 911.

Another thing to worry about is the road conditions. Magee said there are always accidents when the first storms of the season hit as “people get accustomed to driving in the snow again.”

“It's been a year. People forget,” said Magee, citing a few weather-related accidents on Friday morning.

The chief cautioned drivers to go slow and said the posted speed limits are for optimal driving conditions, not slippery, snowy roads.

“Generally when somebody flies off the road or hits another car it’s because they went to stop and couldn’t,” he said.

Marion Police Chief Lincoln Miller echoed Magee's call for extra care on the roads and said drivers should be careful around plow trucks.

“Stay off the roads while the plows are out there. If you do have to be out, drive very cautiously,” he advised, adding that plow drivers can have a hard time seeing passing cars.

Aside from staying off of the roads as much as possible, Magee said people should clear all the accumulation off their cars before driving and factor in extra travel time to reach their destinations.
