Buffalo, NY – Valentine’s weekend in Buffalo will bring more than just romance—it comes with snow, ice, and strong winds that could impact travel and holiday plans. A winter storm is expected to hit Wednesday night, with the heaviest snowfall and freezing rain arriving Thursday into Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, Buffalo could see 1 to 2 inches of snow Wednesday night, followed by icy conditions as temperatures rise near freezing. Winds up to 32 mph Thursday will create blowing snow and reduced visibility. By Friday, another round of snow showers could make Valentine’s Day travel tricky.
