Get your ice scraper out - you're going to need it.
If you're waking up in Buffalo or further north, you'll likely have ice on your car windows from the rain that changed into snow as temperatures dropped.
Unless of course you parked along Rt. 5. Then you're going to need a lot more than an ice scraper:

But if you're in the Southtowns or further south, you're going to need a scrapper - and maybe a shovel. Several schools are closed as a lake effect snow band dumps around two inches of snow per hour.
