Snowbound City Faces Walks and Woes of Winter Storm
Overnight blizzard shuts schools and snarls roads across the area. A northbound Acme Markets tractor trailer driven by Orlando J. Ligoci of Liverpool sideswiped a bridge and plunged into a mall embankment near Route 69 after zero visibility. Ligoci was treated for shoulder pain by troopers at the Pulaski substation. Firefighters fought a suspicious blaze at the Three Rivers Inn near Phoenix, Oswego County, with one injury reported among responders as crews battled drifting and heavy snow. Local plow teams, highway departments, and residents endured the cold and wind with 11 to 13 degree readings and up to 18 inches of snowfall in parts, while the Coast Guard warned of seven to eight foot waves on Lake Ontario.
