The second storm is expected to bring another 6 to 12 inches from Thursday thru Friday afternoon.

We could see a total of up to 26 inches of snow in parts of Western New York this week.

According to goldensnowball.com, so far Buffalo has received 58.6 inches of snow, which is about 12 inches less than the normal average for this time of year.

Currently, Buffalo is in 2nd place in the Golden Snowball competition which is a battle of cities along the 90 to see which city gets the most snow.

As of this post, Binghamton was #1 with just shade over 80 inches of snow so far this Winter. But Buffalo is ready to take a shot at #1 with these storms.
