State officials have restricted travel on several western New York roads – including on the New York state Thruway – as lake effect snow falls throughout the area.
Up to three feet of lake effect snow is predicted to fall by late Friday in parts of western and central New York.
Among them, the New York State Thruway Authority implemented a ban on tandem and empty tractor-trailers in both directions on the Thruway (Interstate-90) between Exit 53 (Buffalo/Interstate 190) and the Pennsylvania state line until further notice.
State Department of Transportation officials also banned tandem and empty tractor-trailers in the following roads in western New York:
