Though snow totals remain below average for this winter, bouts of extreme weather continue to challenge Western New Yorkers. Over the weekend, winds in excess of 60 miles per hour battered the region, leaving thousands without power. To start the work week this morning, freezing drizzle is expected to glaze some roadways. The conditions have prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Weather Advisory until 10 a.m.
Here's the statement issued by the National Weather Service at 3:51 this morning:
