Lake Effect Snow Warning Still in Effect

A Lake Effect Snow Warning remains in effect until early this evening in McKean, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Warren Counties.

In Pennsylvania, another two to six inches of snow is possible, with the higher amounts to the west of Warren. Storm totals will end up ranging from as little as six inches over eastern McKean County to more than two feet across the snowbelt of northwest Warren County, according to the National Weather Service in State College.

The National Weather Service in Buffalo says blowing and drifting snow will also be a problem for motorists with visibility as low as a quarter of a mile at times.

The combination of locally heavy Lake Effect snow and wind gusts of up to 25 miles an hour will result in periods of whiteout conditions and drifting snow. Travel along the New York State Thruway and adjacent roads from Angola to the Pennsylvania state line will be especially difficult, although the heaviest snow is expected to be inland across higher terrain, the National Weather Service says.
