Looks like strongest returns are in the middle of the band instead of the northern fringes like last few major events.

Snow totals: Someone is getting 2 feet+ out of this. Kbuf is under heaviest returns right now, likely at double digits already. I don't think the bands moves much until later tonight. ...Erie County...
