Winter weather started sooner than expected today. This morning, an advisory said the snow would go from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.

But the snow came sooner.

The National Weather Service tweaked a winter weather advisory to start at 11:30 a.m., 5 1/2 hours earlier than initially reported. The advisory continues until 8 a.m. Saturday with 2 to 6 inches of snow expected in Orleans, Niagara, northern Erie and Genesee counties.
