Winter Travel Ban Erie County Snow

A significant winter weather event has prompted the issuance of travel bans and advisories in several counties in Western New York, including Erie County. As of December 12, 2024, a Lake Effect Snow Warning has been declared for Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties due to intense snowfall expected in the region.

The warning is particularly critical for northern Erie County, where the heaviest snowfall is anticipated. Travel conditions are expected to be hazardous, with heavy snow and strong winds leading to reduced visibility and slippery roads.

Local authorities have advised residents to avoid non-essential travel during the warning period to ensure safety. The travel bans and advisories are in place to mitigate the risks associated with the severe weather conditions.

The National Weather Service has warned of significant snow accumulation, which could lead to power outages and other disruptions. Residents are advised to stay informed through local news and weather updates for the latest information on the travel restrictions and weather conditions.
