That could happen overnight, he predicted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"67NH2BNKDJC53OKEKDEQI25OH4\">The worst-case scenario is an \u201call-out travel ban,\u201d McMahon said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"IBBNK5HUZZEX5I4QJPSINO5SFA\">The lake-effect snow is expected to begin falling heavy around 1 a.m. overnight and continue until 1 p.m. Tuesday. Winds could reach 50 to 60 mph, McMahon said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"RQHZDQZK5NA5RCXNHMHDV5UERQ\">The county will partially activate its emergency operations center, intended to streamline communication between county, city, state and local officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BYFHUTIIQVBX7DBMVO6WUHISTM\">All county plows will be operating, McMahon said. The city of Syracuse will have all its plows out, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"GRQ4R3SFNNBQFFNSOXPU3KRXE4\">McMahon said that county plows are too big to go down city side streets. If the city asked for help with main arteries, the county would lend a hand, he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Syracuse, NY &#8212; Parts of Onondaga County could see \u201c20 to 30 inches of snow\u201d late Monday through&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":478804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[4691,54042,405,50,71178,4697,67,132,68,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-478803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"category-us","9":"tag-editorial","10":"tag-fayetteville","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-snow","14":"tag-trimble","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115805631503855596","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
