destination for this afternoon and early evening commute.

this evening.

Hamburg, East Aurora, Evans, Elma, Boston, Eden, Marilla, 

Springville, Perry, Warsaw, Bennington, Colden and Orchard Park.

 Interstate 90 between exits 61 and 55.

Visibilities will drop quickly to a half mile in this band of lake 

effect snow.

prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra

time when traveling.
