FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 30, 2025 11:30AM

The TRAVEL ADVISORY issued by the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office earlier
today remains in effect. Lake effect snow bands are continuing across the County
combining with wind guests that is resulting in blowing snow, snow drifts and
reduced visibility. Travel is difficult and dangerous in these areas, especially in the
northern half of Cattaraugus County. Motorists are asked to AVOID unnecessary
travel until further notice.
A travel advisory does not mean all roads in the affected area are officially closed;
however, the public is encouraged to avoid any travel that could wait until the
advisory is lifted and conditions have improved.
If travel is necessary, motorists are asked to leave extra time to reach their
destination, ensure their vehicle is prepared for winter travel, have a winter
emergency kit in their vehicle, be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions,
and be observant of first responders and plows on the roadways.
