Traffic is reportedly at a standstill on Route 63 near Johnny's bar.
Dispatch reports numerous calls, but the dispatcher says, "we're trying to figure out what's going on out there."
Law enforcement is in route.
UPDATE: The situation on Route 63 sounds like a mess. There is a jack-knifed truck holding up traffic, and (unrelated) one truck driver is filing a complaint against another truck driver for assault.
UPDATE 8:10 p.m.: Westbound Route 20 is being closed so that a DOT plow can be extracted from a ditch.
UPDATE 8:15 p.m.: Looking at the radar map, the storm is well south of Batavia. The heaviest concentration of snow is falling from Attica up to Bethany. Darien and Alexander are on the border of the storm.
UPDATE 8:44 p.m.: A driver stuck on Richmond Avenue called for a tow. He was told: Four-hour wait.
UPDATE 9:47 p.m.: It sounds like the car mentioned in the update above has been freed from its snow bank. Also, it sounds like a truck in Pavilion is blocking traffic now.
UPDATE 9:57 p.m.: Route 63 is open again. Also, a law enforcement officer in Texas Town is reporting one of his suspects is eight-months pregnant and is feeling pressure and discomfort. We don't know why she was arrested. She's being taken to UMMC.

I believe the DOT's plow is just about done being removed, a deputy on-scene says traffic should be moving, slowly, within a few minutes. I may be mixing up two separate incidents however...

I heard earlier that the truck driver (Driver A) that filed the complaint was driving erratically, causing the other truck driver (Driver B) to jack-knife his trailer to keep from spilling his load.
At that point, Driver B got out and started beating the crap out of Driver A.
