New York – Light snow drifts across downtown Buffalo this morning, and flakes swirl under gray skies near the Lake Erie shoreline. Temperatures sit near 25°F, and visibility dips at times along I-90 and Route 33.
Snow showers continue through the morning commute. A 90% chance of precipitation brings light accumulations, generally under one inch. Roads may turn slick in bursts of heavier snow. Slow down on bridges and elevated ramps.
Highs reach only the mid-20s today with northwest winds around 7 to 9 mph. The air feels biting, and wind chills hover in the teens. Snow showers taper later this afternoon, but scattered flurries may linger.
Skies partially clear tonight. Lows fall near 9°F, setting up a hard February freeze. Any leftover slush can refreeze quickly after sunset. That’s when flash freezing becomes a concern. Watch for black ice in neighborhoods and parking lots.
Friday brings partial sunshine and a high near 31°F. A few snow showers could redevelop Friday night. Valentine’s Day Saturday stays mostly cloudy with highs around 34°F. Sunday turns milder with partly sunny skies and highs near 38°F.
Early next week trends less wintry. Highs approach the upper 30s Monday and climb into the low 40s by midweek. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of the Northeast. That signals a gradual thaw and more late-winter rain chances.

Today: High 25°F, snow showers (90%).
Friday: High 31°F, partly sunny.
