Dig out continues following second lake effect storm

As the second lake effect event to hit Western New York this week comes to an end, crews in the city of Dunkirk continue to work on snow removal.  The driving ban was lifted earlier this morning according to Police Chief David Ortolano.  He says drivers will still want to use caution today.
