Storm shuts schools across Central New York
A winter blizzard forces school closures and delays across Central New York as blowing snow and subzero wind chills collapse travel. Up to four inches of snow and strong winds reduce visibility, causing multi vehicle pileups on Routes 81 and 690 and closing the Onondaga Lake Parkway and a Route 81 bridge. Buffalo area hit hard with Thruway closure between Buffalo and Lackawanna and a seven vehicle crash on Route 690 Teall Avenue.
