“Lake effect snows continue to pile up, already parts of Wayne County have seen more than a foot of snow and by the time we get to lunchtime (Saturday), many spots along the 104 corridor and into central Wayne County will see yet another foot of snow.”
The lake effect snow warning for Monroe, Orleans and Wayne Counties has now been extended until 10:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Wayne County Sheriff Barry Virts issued a travel advisory late Friday afternoon until 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. It does not restrict travel, but is a warning to drivers that hazardous conditions may exist.
There will be another few inches of snow in the immediate Rochester area on Friday night and a few inches of snow in some spots on Saturday.
City of Rochester R-Centers will continue to operate Saturda, as warming centers for those needing temporary shelter.
