Thursday Morning Update 

There is a lot of buzz about the historic Lake Effect Snow event starting for Buffalo NY. This morning we had a few flurries pass through, likely while you were sleeping. There will be another push of energy that will ignite more snow showers later on Friday which we will have a better chance to see.

In the meantime, the theme for now into the weekend will be all about cold winds!

Morning Surface Weather

There is not an organized storm, simply cold air and some upper level energy. There its a cold front that will reinforce the colder air that we will track to reach us later on Friday. It will be the source of our next round of snow showers.
