Rain, Sleet, Snow Pummel Central New York

OK, maybe not pummel, but it was still a nasty day all around here in Tompkins County.

High winds, which reached upwards of 25 miles per hour, along with rain and even some sleet and snow all caused problems around the area. According to officials, 10 or so downed trees have been responded to around the area and some even involved power lines.

Because of the downed trees and wires, power outages have been reported around the area. It has been said that approximately 430 are without power as of Tuesday afternoon. Officials from NYSEG have said they expect all to be fixed late Wednesday night.
