It’s another cold one in Orleans County today with a high of 21, and 2 to 4 inches of snow expected.
The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a special weather statement this morning for Orleans, Niagara and Monroe counties, saying snowfall rates of an inch per hour in some persistent snow bands will make the roads slippery.
The high on Saturday will only be 15 with wind chill values as low as minus 5 degrees with another 1 to 2 inches possible. Sunday will be partly sunny with a high of 23.
Orleans County will get a reprieve from the frigid weather on Monday, when the high goes above freezing to 33 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Then the highs will be 35 on Tuesday, 42 on Wednesday, and 41 on Thursday.
