UPDATE: 9:15 a.m.

Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow has declared a State of Emergency in the city of Oswego due to more than three feet of snowfall overnight.

Oswego residents should avoid all unnecessary travel and should not park on city streets for the next twenty-four hours.

“I am urging all Oswego residents to please not travel on City streets and do not park on city streets until the emergency declaration is rescinded. I have directed all departments and agencies of the city of Oswego to take whatever steps necessary to protect life and property, public infrastructure, and provide such emergency assistance deemed necessary,” said Mayor Barlow.

Oswego City Hall will also be closed on December 27.

This State of Emergency will remain in effect until rescinded by a subsequent order.

OSWEGO – Due to the current weather conditions, the city of Oswego is under a Travel Advisory.

A “Travel Advisory” means no unnecessary travel on city streets and no parking on city streets between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.

Motorists are advised to travel with caution if they must drive and refrain from parking on the streets to assist DPW crews in their snow removal efforts.

The advisory is in effect until further notice.
