BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — City of Buffalo Department of Public Works Commissioner Nate Marton provided an update Wednesday on the upcoming lake effect snow.
Marton said while only a few inches are expected to fall in South Buffalo, city crews are prepared for significantly more if the band shifts further north.
He also said he's been in touch with state and county crews in case they need that extra support and the city's contractors are on standby. It's an all-hands-on-deck effort beginning tonight and into the morning hours.
"We've got a base number out now," Marton said. "That 3 a.m. is where we really max out our staff and our equipment. So, most of that will be focused on South Buffalo, right where that snow is coming. If it shifts, we'll move our equipment around to meet that. But you know, we want to be where the snow is."
Buffalo's snow plowing map has been reset. Red means it's been serviced more than 24 hours ago. Green means it was serviced within the past few hours.
