Seneca County Sheriff Timothy Luce has issued a “No Unnecessary Travel Advisory.”  This advisory is issued as a result of the National Weather Service’s Winter Storm Warning for Seneca County.

The “No Unnecessary Travel Advisory” is in effect until further notice and does not restrict travel. It is, however, a warning to motorists that hazardous driving conditions may exist. This advisory will be canceled when the winter storm has moved out of the area and road conditions have improved.

Significant amounts of snow are still expected to fall throughout Seneca County overnight and Wednesday which will make travel dangerous. The effect of the higher winds drifting on the North-South roads in the County has made travel dangerous. County Highway crews are working to clear roads. For the safety of all residents, the general public is encouraged to consider the need to be on the roads during these times. Please use extreme caution, and lower your speeds while traveling in or around Seneca County.
