WESTERN NEW YORK — The region dodged a bullet with the possible ice storm warning set to expire at noon today without serious damage.

According to the National Weather Service the ice storm warning, which was issued on Saturday and brought back fears of the 1991 ice storm that crippled the region for two weeks, will expire at noon on Sunday.

With the holidays coming up this week, a massive power outage would have been devastating.
