BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Winter Storm Warning has been issued until 5am Monday for Southern Erie, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus Counties.

Deep snow with blowing and drifting snow will also make travel difficult to dangerous. Greatest snow accumulations will be along the Chautauqua and the hills south and east of Buffalo. The Buffalo Metro area and areas inland and away from hills and ridges will see less snow accumulation. This is especially the case close to the Lake Erie shoreline.
