Warmer days coming

Wednesday will see improved conditions with snow showers ending by the afternoon. The temperature in Utica will reach 32 degrees, according to the weather service.

Thursday will be partly sunny with highs ranging from the lower 40s to the lower 50s.

Shoveling and heart health

Though residents need to clear their driveways and sidewalks of snow, the American Heart Association, is urging that people use caution when picking up the shovel, or even starting the snowblower.

Association research shows that many people may face an increased risk of a heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest after shoveling heavy snow.

Winter weather in general can contribute to the increased risk, heart association officials sad. Cold temperatures may increase blood pressure while simultaneously constricting the coronary arteries.

Those factors, combined with the higher heart rate from the extra physical effort, may increase the risk for acute cardiac events. There are even studies that show an increased risk for heart attacks among people using automatic snow blowers. Similar to the extra exertion of pushing shovel, pushing a snow blower can raise heart rate and blood pressure quickly.

Officials said the most important thing is to be aware of the dangers, be prepared and take it easy, including taking short breaks. Even people who are relatively healthy should note that pushing the snow with a shovel is better physically than lifting and throwing it.

A flight to snowhere in Syracuse

A Delta Airbus A220-100 with 61 passengers aboard "exited" a taxiway at Syracuse Hancock International Airport at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, airport officials said in a statement. The weather service was reporting light snow, fog and mist in the area at the time. About 45 minutes later a "coordinated response" began to bring the passengers and their luggage back to the terminal, the statement said.

The incident did not effect operations and the airport remained open, the statement said, although several flights were delayed or canceled because of the snowstorm.

The airliner was left where it's at until a Delta aircraft recovery team arrives Tuesday evening to extricate the plane, the airport later reported.

Feels like déjà vu

On March 14, 2017, the "PI Day" storm dumped 36 inches of snow on Utica, according to the weather service office in Binghamton.

Heavy snow spread across parts of central New York and Pennsylvania late on March 13, and by late evening the next day snowfall amounts ranged from 8 to 33 inches.

It wasn't done there.

After the storm moved out, lake effect snow bands produced more snow across Central New York on March 15, 2017.
