Sheriff Sheron encourages residents, “For your safety and the safety of first responders and highway snow removal personnel this weekend, please stay off the roads until conditions improve.”
Motorists are encouraged to avoid all unnecessary travel due to the expected strong winds, heavy snow and sub-zero visibility. These conditions will undoubtedly create treacherous travel for all motorists.
During a travel advisory, roads are not closed, however, no unnecessary travel is advised. A trip which could wait should not be made until the advisory is lifted. The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office does not determine the necessity for any individual to report to work.
