The special weather statement for Kingston, Belleville, and other places on the lake was issued at 6:45 a.m. Sunday. It warned of winds hitting 90 km/h that could develop Monday afternoon and continue through the day.

Along with our stretch of very cold weather here in Central New York recently, a unique sight has developed along the Lake Ontario shoreline in Oswego: a series of what appear to look like volcanoes at a glance.

Cold air will continue to move across the relatively warm surface waters of Lake Ontario generating lake effect snow east and east southeast of the lake through

A woman who died Sunday after being pulled from a vehicle that drove into Lake Ontario at Ashbridges Bay is being remembered as warm, caring person and hardworking colleague.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a "Lake Effect Snow Warning" for Oswego County in northern New York, along the banks of Lake Ontario. Up to 10 inches of heavy snow has been forecast, making travel difficult for many.

Two people were in a vehicle when it entered the water at Ashbridges Bay Park around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, say police.

Plan on changeable wintry conditions for the Rochester region this Friday. Local lake effect snow will develop over Lake Ontario and occasionally bring some accumulations to parts of Rt. 104 and much of Wayne County into the afternoon.

Heavy amounts of lake-effect snow have buried several Ontario communities this season, with the open lakes and the frigid cold creating a near-constant snow machine.

More than a dozen counties are under a state of emergency as areas of upstate New York could receive multiple feet of snow.

Paramedics later confirmed that six people had been taken to hospital and that one of them, a woman, was in critical condition.

Lake Ontario’s low water levels are largely due to the effects of Lake Superior’s poor conditions. The record-low ice cover led to massive evaporation, and droughts left Superior with insufficient recharge (the process that replenishes lakes, thanks to precipitation and surface runoff), impacting all downstream lakes.

The Doug Ford government is pushing for a prospecting rush across northern Ontario, leaving a blanket of mineral claims on land where First Nations are still fighting for title.
