Syracuse, N.Y. -- Even as a lake effect snowstorm is closing highways today in Upstate New York, another storm system is barreling toward the region this weekend. The weekend “will feature very active winter weather as a large, powerful storm system passes through the region,” the National Weather Service said.

President’s Day weekend will bring a wintry mix of combination of snow, sleet, ice and strong winds to the City area, the National Weather Service said.
