As we wave goodbye to last week’s unseasonably warm weather, Buffalo Museum of Science hosts a new exhibit praising Buffalo’s bane, its blessing, its national claim to notoriety: snow. The exhibit is entitled just that, Snow, and it runs through February, culminating on the weekend of February 27 & 28 with a 30th-anniversary celebration of the Blizzard of ’77. Between now and then the museum will explore winter and all its glory through an array of exhibits and activities. This weekend features a family event called WinterGREEN, with exhibits on recycling, holiday music, an environmental game show for kids and decorative craftmaking using recycled materials. Bring in recyclable paper or textiles or old cellphones and receive $1 off the museum’s admission price.

Saturday, December 22 from 1-4pm. Buffalo Museum of Science, 1020 Humboldt Parkway (896-5200, sciencebuff.org). $7 adults, $6 seniors, $5 children over the age of three and students; children under the age of three enter free.
