ALBION – Snow blows cross Gaines Basin Road in a field near the Orleans Correctional Facility today at about noon.
The driving conditions have been difficult today. A travel advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. on Wednesday. A lake-effect snow warning also remains in effect until that time.
Justin Niederhofer, the county’s emergency management director, urged people to avoid unnecessary travel.
“If you must travel, use extreme caution,” he said in a post on social media. “Things may be perfectly fine in one spot and a complete white out in another. Snowfall is forecasted to increase this evening, making the blowing snow conditions and visibility even worse. There have been multiple accidents and cars off the roads as a result of the current conditions.”
