10 Worst Snow Years Ever in Buffalo, New York
Western New York is known for getting a lot of snow, but these years were the worst.
How is this year going so far for the Nickel City when it comes to snow totals? When you look at the data, it's not too bad. So far this season, we have officially 23.5 inches of snow but it's important to note that January hasn't been tabulated yet. Itr's been a snowy month and that will definitely bring up the total number. However, it's been a pretty average winter overall for Buffalo. As per usual, the south towns of Western New York get the brunt of the snow while the city and north towns are not even close to as much.
With storms hitting the region today and this week, hazardous travel conditions have shut down some roads. The cold temperatures, too, have closed a lot of schools in the areas. Travel advisories and lake effect snow warnings are in effect for the entire Niagara Region.

While it's not pretty out there right now, it pales in comparison to other years. Time will tell how the 2024-25 season stacks up all-time for snow totals, but it will likely end up being a pretty typical season, albeit maybe a bit heavier than recent years. Minus, of course, the Christmas Blizzard of 2022.
