Be careful out there.
The National Weather Service in Buffalo is warning folks of snow squalls in the area that will affect Northeastern Erie County through 3 p.m.
A snowsquall (or snow squall) is a sudden moderately heavy snow fall with blowing snow and strong, gusty surface winds. It is often referred to as a whiteout and is similar to a blizzard but is localized in time or in location and snow accumulations may or may not be significant.
According to the NWS, a snow squall is occurring across north-central Erie county. Winds in excess of 40 mps and areas of blowing snow are occurring with this squall.
Locations impacted include Buffalo, Cheektowaga, West Seneca, Clarence, Lackawanna, Depew, Lancaster, Hamburg, Williamsville, and Elma.
This includes Interstate 90 between exits 57 & 49.
Visibility will drop quickly to less than a quarter of a mile in this squall.
