If you're looking for the snowiest city in Erie county with modern conveniences that would 100% be Springville. It's about a 40-45 minute drive from the city of Buffalo. They average around 200" per year. If you're looking for the secondary snowbelt only 25-30 minutes away from the city that would be Colden/Boston Hills area. Where I live in Hamburg is the immediate southtowns where I can walk to everything I need and still average 110-120" per. I can drive to downtown Buffalo in 15 minutes and I can get to the lake in 5 minutes. Which I love in the summer as the sun sets in the west over lake Erie. The sunsets here in the summer are incredible. The farther away you get from the lake the better snow retention as the elevation increases pretty quickly from west to east across the county. If you don't want a lot of snow you want to move north of Buffalo, some the averages up there are 70-80" per year. The taxes are pretty high in every suburb. The farther you go out from the city the lower the taxes on average. If you want to go for maximum snowfall in Western New York you want to head even further south into ski country. Towns like Perrysburg, Mayville, South Dayton all average 200"+ per year but are about 45 minutes-1 hour away from the city of Buffalo. They get the best of both worlds with maximum elevation and orographic lift off the hills off of the lake.

Are you moving here for the snow or for work? What's most important to you conveniences, land, close to the lake?

It really has, I love the snow as much as the next person but this city needs a break and we look to get that the next 10 days with the warmup. I'm up to 149" on the season and winter started 5 days ago...Another snow band is moving in as we speak thats supposed to drop 6-8" tonight. I've never seen anything like it. My town here in Hamburg averages 110-120" a year.

I think around 6-7". It was melting quick with the rain and warmth before the storm hit. That is solid concrete now.

47.6" storm total up to 149" on the year.
