Travel advisories are generally issued based upon such factors as poor visibility, slippery roads, numerous accidents, blowing and/or drifting snow on the roadways.
Avoid making unnecessary trips that can wait until the advisory is lifted — such as going to the store for non-essential items or renting a movie, etc.
The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office does not make determinations regarding whether individuals are required to report to work.
Road Closings
Road closings are issued when road(s) are impassable. Often, times these road(s) are barricaded, or law enforcement is physically present blocking the roadway.
Individual roads may be closed for various reasons, including accidents, blowing or drifting snow, reduced visibility, and other hazardous conditions.
You may be cited for a violation of the law if you travel on a closed road.
Travel Ban
Roads are officially closed.
Only emergency travel is allowed (police, ambulance, fire, doctors, nurses, etc.).
Non-emergency travelers may be cited for a violation of the law when traveling during a travel ban. Note: Countywide travel bans in Wyoming County are rare.
