...AN AREA OF HEAVY SNOW AND BRIEF LOWER VISIBILITY WILL AFFECT
WYOMING...NORTHEASTERN CATTARAUGUS...EAST CENTRAL
ERIE...LIVINGSTON...NORTHERN ALLEGANY AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO
COUNTIES...

At 331 PM EST, an area of heavy snow was located along a line
extending from 6 miles north of Chaffee to near Dansville to
Sheldrake. Movement was southeast at 15 mph.

Locations impacted include...
Geneseo, Dansville, Letchworth State Park, Perry, Warsaw, Mount
Morris, Conesus, Arcade, Naples, Rushville, Houghton, Hemlock,
Portageville, Honeoye, Varysburg, Holland, Groveland, Springwater,
Sheldon and Canadice.

This includes Interstate 390 between exits 4 and 7.

The snow can accumulate at a rate of one inch per hour or more in
this area of heavy snow. Be prepared for hazardous driving
conditions. Consider delaying travel if you will be going through
this area of heavy snow.

Visibilities will briefly drop to below one quarter of a mile in
this area of heavy snow. If you are driving, slow down and be on
alert for other motorists. Low visibility shortens the amount of
time you have to react to situations.

Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be
prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra
time when traveling.
