Climate and Weather
Yes, it snows in Buffalo, but we know how to have fun with it.
Whether we're hitting the ski slopes south of the city, ice
skating downtown at Rotary Rink, or making snow sculptures in a
neighborhood park, in Buffalo we've turned winter into an art
form. And to keep the chill from getting you down, we've got you
covered: the major academic buildings on UB's North Campus are
completely connected by indoor walkways. Buffalo does have three
other seasons. Spring is short, but very pleasant. Our summers
are probably the best around, with more sun than anywhere in the
eastern U.S. north of Atlanta. And in fall, the foliage in
Western New York is a riot of color. Each season, there are
outdoor activities for every taste - boating, hiking, camping,
and, yes, skiing can all be found within an hour's drive of UB.
