...DIFFICULT TRAVEL THIS MORNING...

WIND BLOWN SNOW ON 15 TO 30 MPH WINDS WILL MAKE FOR DIFFICULT
TRAVEL EARLY THIS MORNING. WHILE ACTUAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD
RANGE FROM ABOUT 1 TO 3 INCHES EARLY THIS MORNING...THERE WILL
MOST CERTAINLY BE ENOUGH SNOW FOR THE STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS TO
REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO UNDER A QUARTER MILE.

THE BACK EDGE OF THE STEADIEST SNOW WAS FOUND ALONG THE
PENNSYLVANIA BORDER AT 7 AM. THIS BACK EDGE WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS
CHAUTAUQUA...CATTARAUGUS AND ALLEGANY COUNTIES BETWEEN 7:30 AND 9
AM.

COMPLICATING THE MORNING COMMUTE WILL BE PLUMMETING TEMPERATURES.
SINCE MERCURY READINGS ARE WELL BELOW FREEZING...UNTREATED AREAS
WILL LIKELY HAVE SOME ICE UNDER THE INCREASINGLY SNOW COVERED
SURFACES.

MOTORISTS SHOULD ALLOW PLENTY OF EXTRA TIME THIS MORNING TO REACH
THEIR DESTINATION.
