A BAND OF HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHERN WYOMING... NORTHWESTERN CATTARAUGUS...CENTRAL ERIE...NORTHEASTERN CHAUTAUQUA AND GENESEE COUNTIES... A band of heavy lake effect snow is drifting slowly northward and into the central and southern portions of the Buffalo Metro area early this morning. Travel conditions will deteriorate rapidly from downtown to near the airport. Heavy lake effect snow also extends into much of Genesee County and down the Lake Erie shore to near Dunkirk.

Still snowing here, band has weakened somewhat.

Picked up 11.2" between midnight and 6 am. 17.9" total so far in under 9 hours.

11.2" from midnight to 6 am. 17.9" storm total so far. Snow depth 20-21"

Has to be 3-4”+ per hour outside right now.

My pool is nearly buried https://video.nest.com/live/7Lel0fR0Ox

Tough to go to sleep with whats happening outside right now. Heavy snow, closing in on a foot.

Getting it now, heaviest stuff of the night moving through. Even graupel mixed in.

Band is widening with gaps of banding. Still getting heavy snow. A weird look, obviously some shear coming into play.

Do you have totals for Ohio? We picked up nearly 7" of snow in 3 hours tonight.

Check out that little swirl near long point, looks WSW winds https://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=CASET

@SouthBuffaloSteve Lots of convection near silvercreek.

Shear and high winds are not allowing it to get it really going. I mean almost 7" in 3 hours was incredible, but the potential was there for more. Next few hours will be interesting. Still think morning hours we see our strongest band.

What kind do you have?

Convinced the wife to go for another jebwalk. Got some amazing video.

It's holding on here, moderate to occasionally heavy snow.

6.7" between 8:45-midnight 13-14" snowdepth.

Band is weakening on radar as that shortwave moves through. I expect it to strengthen overnight and slowly move north. Going to measure at 12pm and wipe board.

5" down. 2-3" per hour rates.

...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT NORTHWESTERN WYOMING... CENTRAL ERIE...NORTHEASTERN CHAUTAUQUA AND WESTERN GENESEE COUNTIES... At 1034 PM EST, A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates of one to two inches per hour is located from near Silver Creek to Elma Center to Batavia on the southern edge, and from near Lackawanna to Lancaster to Pembroke on the northern edge. This band of snow will remain nearly stationary late this evening. A rumble of thunder is also possible within the most intense portion of the band of snow.

It does look very similar, but way weaker. The band isn't close to that strength.

If this locks in all night, we will have a few feet by tomorrow morning.
