That's to the national news and TV staples like The Tonight Show, and the Weather Channel, Buffalo has quite a reputation for weather! We do not necessarily live up to that reputation.

For instance:

Buffalo NOT the snowiest

According to the USA Today Weather Almanac, Buffalo, NY does NOT make the Top 10 List of either the snowiest or coldest cities. Syracuse and Rochester traditionally receive more snow than Buffalo. (buffaloresearch.com)

Winters in Buffalo are typical of a city located in the northeastern United States. In a recent three-year span, our Winter Carnival had to be canceled each year. The reason? Not enough snow. (www.medpeds-buffalo.info)
