...AREAS OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY ACROSS
THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AT TIMES THROUGH THE EVENING COMMUTE...

Heavy snow showers will continue to traverse across the Niagara
Frontier right through the evening commute. The combination of
snow and blowing snow within these snow showers with winds gusting
to 50 MPH will briefly reduce visibility down as low as a quarter
mile at times. Drivers are urged to be alert for rapidly changing
driving conditions over a very short distance. Please leave extra
time to reach your destination.

That southern band is getting ready to light up the metro and south buffalo.  Conditions here are worse now than at any point during the January Blizzard.  I think its safe to call today’s forecast a BUST!!!

It’s snowing easily 3” an hr in west Seneca right now. Absolute poundage
