ALBION – Traffic creeps at the intersection of Main Street and East State Street at about 7:45 when the snow was falling fast and furious.
The National Weather Service has issued a snow squall warning until 8:45 a.m. for Orleans, Genesee, Monroe and Niagara counties. The area will get hit with intense bursts of heavy snow, the Weather Service said.
“Gusty winds leading to blowing snow and rapidly falling visibility,” the Weather Service said. “Travel will become difficult and potentially dangerous within minutes.”
A winter weather advisory is in effect until 4 a.m. on Friday for Orleans, Niagara, northern Erie and Genesee counties with 2 to 5 inches of snow expected.
The Orleans County Department of Public Works clears the sidewalk in front of the County Clerks Building.
The historic marker in honor Albion native Terry Anderson stands out in the snow on next to the Pullman Memorial Universalist Church in Albion. This is on the side of the church facing Main Street.
