BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The weather can either work in our favor or work against us. So, when is the best time to run to the store ahead of a big winter storm so we are prepared for whatever comes our way?
Meteorologist Josh Nichols says the weather is like chicken wings.
There is a 'Wing Watch' and 'Wing Warning'.
With a watch you have all the ingredients for a dozen wings or more but nothing has come together yet. Just like a storm, all the variables are there but the storm has not arrived yet. This is when you want to go to the store and get what you need.
Then there is the wing warning. The wings are hot, delicious and ready to dip into some blue cheese. The weather is similar. The storm has arrived and serving up some potentially serious conditions. This is when you just want to stay home.
