between 4 and 10 inches for much of the county, but with locally
up to 15 inches across eastern portions of the county.
* WHERE…Northern Erie and Southern Erie Counties.
* WHEN…Until 7 PM EST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS…Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous. Visibilities may drop below 1/4
mile due to falling and blowing snow. Whiteout conditions are
expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially
life-threatening. Travel could be difficult. The hazardous

Wednesday night, ushering in strong, gusty winds and impactful
lake effect snow Wednesday night through Thursday night. The
combination of snow and blowing snow may create significant travel
