Buffalo’s Winter Weekend: Snow, Rain, and Slippery Roads Expected as February Begins Under a Weather Watch!

Hey Buffalo! February is coming in hot—well, not really. It’s actually bringing a mix of snow, freezing rain, and that lovely slushy mess we all know so well. If you’re heading out this weekend, be ready for some slippery conditions and wet roads.

Saturday, February 1:

  • Morning: Gray skies and cold air greet you as soon as you step outside.
  • Afternoon: Highs will only reach around 19°F (-7°C), so don’t expect much warmth.
  • Evening: Temps will drop to a chilly 11°F (-12°C). This is a night to grab a blanket, binge a show, and stay indoors.

Sunday, February 2:

  • Morning: A bit warmer than Saturday—finally!
  • Afternoon: Snow starts falling, and we could see 1 to 2 inches by the evening. Highs will hit 36°F (2°C).
  • Evening: Things get messy. As temps hover around 33°F (1°C), snow will mix with rain, turning roads into a slushy, slippery mess.

What to Watch Out For:

  • Icy, slick roads: That snow-rain combo is perfect for creating dangerous driving conditions. Take it slow, and don’t tailgate.
  • Poor visibility: Heavier snow could make it hard to see, especially in the afternoon. Drive carefully or stay off the roads if you can.

How to Stay Safe:

  • Plan ahead: Give yourself extra time if you’re traveling.
  • Winter car essentials: Keep a blanket, snacks, water, and a flashlight in your car—just in case.
  • Stay informed: Weather can change quickly, so check local updates before heading out.

Silver Lining:

The wintry mess should ease up by Monday, leaving you with calmer conditions to start the week.

So, if you can stay inside, do it. If not, stay safe and bundle up, Buffalo—you know how to handle this winter weather! 🌨️🌧️
