Travel bans replaced by travel advisories

(WWNY) - Travel bans were lifted across the north country, but authorities are still encouraging people to be careful.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office issued no-unnecessary-travel advisory. The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office downgraded its no-unnecessary-travel advisory to a travel advisory around 10:30 a.m. Monday.

They say blowing and drifting snow and high snowbanks are making driving dangerous because of limited visibility and slippery roads.

Also, cleanup and recovery efforts will create additional hazards to anyone out driving.
