Warm Up On The Way To Western New York

Temperatures are expected to get above freezing and maybe even hit 50 by Tuesday. Ok, so only one long-range weather model has Western New York hitting 50 on Tuesday, but it is nice to think about!

Snow In Western New York Have Been Above Normal

If you have thought to yourself that we have had more snow that ususal this Winter, you would be right. As of this writing, Buffalo has received just over 80 inches of snow. Normally, around this time of winter, we get about 69 inches.

We are well ahead of last year's snow total, too, at this time. Last year, we received only 59 inches of snow.

The long-range forecast is calling for some more snow showers toward the end of the month and a couple more in March, but hopefully we won't add too much more snow to the current total.
