ALBION – The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office has issued a travel advisory for Orleans County, effective 10 a.m. Sunday, until further notice.
Winter Storm “Fern” is expected to impact Orleans County and Western New York from Sunday through Monday evening with 8 to 14 inches of snow possible.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for our area. The N.W.S. predicts “very difficult travel and hazardous conditions during this storm event.”
Based on information from the N.W.S. and other sources, the sheriff recommends essential travel only during this storm. Heavy snow and frigid temperatures will make travel extremely difficult, and the safety of our citizens is our number one priority.
