Snowfall amounts topped 3 feet in northern Chautauqua County. According to the National Weather Service spotters Sunday morning, Cassadaga received 37.7 inches of snow, Fredonia has 27 inches and Dunkirk had 26.5 inches.

While Interstate 90 and 86 reopened in New York and Pennsylvania on Saturday, Dunkirk Police announced Sunday afternoon that a travel advisory remained in effect. In its news release, police noted: “The Department of Public Works has been plowing all night because of the additional significant snowfall. Only essential workers are needed on the roads so others do not hinder snow removal.

The Thruway is continuing its commercial vehicle ban between Exit 46 (I-390) and the Pennsylvania border.

The State University of New York at Fredonia has canceled classes and activities for Monday. This decision is being made as most students are currently away from campus for the holiday break, and need to travel back to the Fredonia area. “Given the current travel conditions and the forecast, we do not want students travelling back to campus this weekend. Students and employees have received emails with additional information,” the university noted.

In Pennsylvania, PennDOT is urging motorists to avoid unnecessary travel but those who must head out will see speeds reduced to 45 mph on the following highways: I-86 from the New York state line to Interstate 90; I-90 from Interstate-79 to the New York state line.

The area remains under a lake-effect snow warning through 7 p.m. Monday.
