As the satellite image above shows, a large storm system is moving into Western New York. You can follow the progress of the storm on Weather.com,
WBTA reports that all schools in Genesee County have already announced they are closed today in anticipation of heavy snow and gusting winds.
The National Weather Service reissued its winter storm warning at 3 a.m., with an upgraded prediction of up to 10 inches of snow. Snow could fall from one to two inches an hour during the morning hours, and the heaviest snow fall could be accompanied by thunder. The warning is in effect from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. While the morning and afternoon storm might dump as much as 10 inches of snow on the region, the evening snow showers could add another three inches.
We encourage you to be safe today. You can post your own storm updates and information on The Batavian. Of course, we'll be covering conditions throughout the day. You can also turn into WBTA for storm news updates. We imagine the Daily News will also offer updates.
UPDATE 8:20 a.m.: The current radar map shows snow falling on the entire region, but we haven't heard yet of a single flak falling. Have you seen any snow yet?
UPDATE: 8:39 a.m.: Below are web cam images from the I-90 Pembroke Interchange and the I-90 LeRoy Interchange. It looks like the first one shows snow and the second one does. Well, I managed to surprise myself -- thought I was grabing still images from the web cam, but actually the images are refreshing right on our page. As I look now, at 8:46 a.m., big flakes can be seen on the LeRoy cam.
But look at this image from Alden
