Binghamton Drivers Beware: Snow and Freezing Rain Could Turn Roads Into Ice Traps—Here’s What to Expect!

Hey Binghamton, winter is back, and it’s bringing some slippery conditions with it. A mix of snow and freezing rain is heading our way, and it could make travel tricky. If you have plans to head out, be cautious on the roads. Here’s what you need to know:

What’s Coming:

  • Saturday, February 1: A frigid, windy day with some sunshine peeking through. Highs will only reach around 13°F (-10°C), and it’ll drop to a bone-chilling 4°F (-16°C) overnight.
  • Sunday, February 2: Snow and flurries will start late in the morning, with up to 1 cm of accumulation. Breezy conditions will persist, with highs around 26°F (-4°C) and lows dipping to 23°F (-5°C).
  • Monday, February 3: Cloudy, breezy, and milder, with a bit of rain expected in the afternoon. Highs will reach 40°F (5°C), and lows will be near 26°F (-3°C).

What to Watch Out For:

  • Icy roads: Snow and freezing rain could create slick surfaces, especially on bridges and overpasses.
  • Low visibility: The snow could reduce visibility, making driving more challenging.

How to Stay Safe:

  • Limit travel: If you don’t have to be on the roads, it’s better to stay home.
  • Drive carefully: If you do need to head out, drive slowly, leave extra space between cars, and watch for icy spots.
  • Stay updated: Check local weather and road conditions before you hit the road.

With a little caution, you’ll get through the slippery weather just fine. Stay safe, Binghamton, and bundle up—it’s cold out there! 🌨️🌧️
