Due to blizzard-like conditions expected to hit the region, the Jamestown Public Schools District announced all schools will be closed Thursday.

Superintendent Bret Apthorpe on Twitter said: “Due to blizzard forecast Jamestown Public Schools are closed Thursday Feb 27. Stay and read a good book.”

The National Weather Service in Buffalo on Wednesday issued a blizzard warning for the western Southern Tier, bringing total snow accumulation of 1 to 2 feet in some areas in addition to wind gusts as high as 45 to 55 mph.

The combination is expected to result in severe blowing and drifting snow for Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and southern Erie counties but expected to hit all of Western New York to some degree.
