Overview
- Morning gusts near 50 mph along the Lake Ontario shoreline eased to around 30 mph by afternoon, and the Yellow Alert was dropped after the strongest winds passed.
- Roads improved as March sun helped melt ice and packed snow, though untreated surfaces could refreeze and remain slick into the night.
- Temperatures stayed in the 20s with wind chills dipping to the single digits and low teens during the morning.
- The cold front flipped rain to sleet and wet snow with generally minor additional accumulation for most communities.
- Localized lake-effect snow may leave a coating to an inch in hills south of Rochester and some lakeshore towns, with a few inches possible between Sodus and Oswego overnight into Wednesday.
