Mixed wintry precipitation entered the region December 26 which made driving hazardous for people traveling on many Western New York roads.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all counties of Western New York from 10 a.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Saturday.
Governor Kathy Hochul declared state of emergency Friday afternoon for all counties affected by the winter storm.
Snow and sleet fell in affected regions, and perhaps freezing rain, mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet accumulations are expected to range between 2 to 5 inches, according to NWS, with the higher end of that range expected north and east of Buffalo.
Ice accumulations are expected to be less than inch throughout the region, though communities in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Southern Erie Counties are expected to receive more than northern communities.
The majority of the snow and travel impact was expected between mid afternoon and mid evening Friday.
