A winter storm watch is in effect from 7 p.m. through Thursday evening.
An arctic cold front will hit WNY later this afternoon, turning rain into snow. The back side of the storm will carry lake effect snow.
The National Weather Service warns the storm will "create very difficult driving conditions."
Heavy lake-effect snow is expected to hit Genesee County by Thursday morning. Driving conditions could be especially treacherous in parts of Erie and Genesee counties tomorrow morning.

Glad I'm on vacation this week....driving a van semi on snow covered roads with high winds SUCKS!!!!! A note to fellow readers-if you pass a van semi on a windy,snow covered day-do so as quickly as safely as possible-you or the truck driver won't know when a gust of wind will blow the trailer to the side(it's happened to me before)-pretty nerve-racking.......
