Snow is back in Orleans County, and more is headed our way.

A winter weather advisory started last night and continues through 4 p.m. with 3 to 5 inches of snow, and then another winter weather advisory is in effect from 10 tonight until 1 p.m. on Sunday with 2 to 4 more inches expected.

Winds gusting as high as 40 miles per hour will create blowing and drifting snow, the National Weather Service in Buffalo said.

“Lake effect snow will fall in relatively narrow bands,” the Weather Service said. “If traveling, be prepared for rapidly changing road conditions and visibilities.”
