Carriers facing heavy snowfall and wild winds in Northeast.
According to Freightwaves, drivers are facing wintry start to week in Northeast.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a lake effect snow warning in places such as Oswego, Watertown and Lowville, New York, and other areas on the Tug Hill Plateau will likely see another 7 to 12 inches. This could impact travel on Interstate 81, where blowing snow will reduce visibility at times..
Areas a little farther inland, like Big Moose, Eagle Bay, McKeever, Old Forge, Atwell, Nobleboro, Northwood, Long Lake, Sabattis, Hoffmeister, Boonville and Wells, New York could see an additional 5 to 10 inches of snowfall.
Cold, northwesterly winds on the backside of a low-pressure system are flowing over the relatively warmer waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.
These are freight markets that have experienced increases in outbound volumes over the past week. So many drivers could be heading into these high winds areas to pick up loads.
