Another round of snowy weather is starting off the week in much of upstate New York, with scores of schools closed and commuters facing a messy trip to work.

The latest storm system is dumping snow from Buffalo to the Hudson Valley Monday morning, a day after up to 6 inches fell on parts of the upstate region. School closings or delays are reported from the western Finger Lakes to the borders of the New England states.

A winter storm warning is in effect across a broad swath of upstate New York, where the National Weather Service says as much as 9 to 18 inches is expected from the Catskills to the southern Adirondacks by the time it’s over early Tuesday.

Predictions for other upstate areas range from 2 to 10 inches.
