Lake effect snow advisory in place until Wednesday morning, plus wind chill possible of 20 below

By Billie Owens

A lake effect snow advisory is in effect from 4 this afternoon until 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to the latest weather update from the National Weather Service office in Buffalo. Snow accumulations are expected to be four to seven inches in the heaviest bands, which will include far southern Genesee County.

Also, a wind chill advisory remains in effect 10 a.m. Wednesday until 10 a.m. Thursday. Winds are predicted of 15 to 25 mph with wind chill values as low as 20-degrees below zero.

The combination of snow and blowing snow will greatly reduce visibility and result in snow-covered roadways, which can create hazardous driving conditions.

Bitterly cold wind chills will result in dangerous conditions for exposed skin. Avoid prolonged exposure to cold to prevent frostbite and hypothermia. If you will be outdoors use common sense and dress warmly.

But Doug the stroller was the best way to get my wife's 3 favorite gallons of ice cream home from Tops. The harness keeps them from falling out so good and it rolls easier than either style of shopping cart.
