BY Keegan Trunick, Ryan Beiter, and Spectrum News Staff Erie County

UPDATED 8:03 AM ET Nov. 22, 2022 PUBLISHED 9:00 PM ET Nov. 17, 2022 PUBLISHED 9:00 PM EST Nov. 17, 2022

The state of emergency is still in effect in Erie County, but there are signs that things are slowly returning to normal.

On Tuesday, all county government offices will reopen after being forced to close because of the weather, however, many schools, including the Buffalo city school district, will remain closed. A full list of closures can be seen here.

On Monday it was announced that a FEMA emergency declaration has been approved for 11 counties in Western New York:

Cattaraugus
Chautauqua
Erie
Genesee
Jefferson
Lewis
Niagara
Oneida
Oswego
St. Lawrence
Wyoming

The declaration means funding will be available to help with recovery efforts across Western New York.

The travel ban that originally went into effect on Thursday, and has been continuously modified, has finally been completely lifted in Erie County. There are still travel advisories in effect in many areas.

As of 5 PM, the Buffalo has lifted the final travel ban in Erie County. About half the county remains in a travel advisory, yellow on the attached map: Buffalo, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Elma, Marilla, Hamburg, Orchard Park, Aurora, Wales, Evans, Eden, Boston, Colden, & Holland. pic.twitter.com/DG99FNxjTv
