New York is digging out again as steady snow sweeps across Buffalo and coats cars, sidewalks, and expressways in fresh white. Light snow and mist linger late this morning, with temperatures near 28 degrees and wind chills in the teens.
Another round of accumulating snow continues through early afternoon. Most neighborhoods can expect 1 to 3 inches before flakes taper. Gusty southwest winds between 14 and 23 mph will blow snow around, briefly lowering visibility on the I-90 and Route 33 corridors.
Roads may turn slushy as temperatures rise toward 36 degrees by afternoon. Still, untreated surfaces could stay slick. This is prime time for flash freezing later tonight as readings fall to around 19 degrees. Wet pavement may refreeze after sunset, creating icy patches for the evening drive and early Thursday travel.
Snow showers taper tonight, leaving mostly cloudy skies. Thursday turns partly sunny but colder, with highs near 27. Sunshine returns Friday with a noticeable warmup to 42 degrees, offering a brief late-winter Spring Tease.
Saturday stays seasonable with highs near 41 and partial sun. Snow showers likely return Saturday night into early Sunday, with another light accumulation possible. Sunday cools to near 25 under partly sunny skies.
Early next week trends colder again, with additional chances for snow showers Monday and Tuesday. Longer-range outlooks hint at gradual moderation into early March, though winter is not finished yet across western New York.
