Default So You Don't Believe In Lake Effect Snow?
Watch the radar for the next 18 hours.
The moisture sucks up from the lake, turns to snow, and follows the prevailing wind.
Lake effect? If it wasn't lake effect, the snow would be blowing in from Canada across Lake Erie. It's not.... The radar clearly shows the demarcation pomt of the snow, denoted by that big blue blob moving north east onto land towards us.
Lake effect is real.
Until you see it, you prolly won't believe it.

Hey! I'm from Mississippi, and I believe in lake-effect snow. The coldest I've even been was in Cleveland, Ohio: Ir was 3 degrees when I landed there...and that was the high temp that day. My toes didn't warm up until I got back to Bowling Green, KY.

Oh I believe in it. What I have trouble believing is why anyone would live where it occurs.












J/K, I know there are great places where it occurs.

I believe it.

I also believe it should STAY up there for those who seem to enjoy it so much.

Fact.

The lake effect obviously starts on the Canadian side of the lake. At the whim of the Canadians, no doubt.

The cold air starts in Canada, and wile moving across the lake, picks up the warm water and dumps it on us like you see in the pics.
That is happening now.
Check out the radar if you wanna see it. The dark blue bands are heavy snow
I'm in East Aurora. Right to the left of EA is Orchard Park, where the Bills play at 1pm.
That ought to look cool on TV...

You can't tell from the pics, but it is falling hard and fast.
That looks to be a 2" per hour fall rate. Ugh...

When I was a little kid and we were living south of Syracuse it snowed so much the plows blocked the driveway up with a 15' snow bank. My dad had an old VW bug, like a 59 and he dug a tunnel through the snow at the end of the drive so he could get the bug out and go to work a Niagara Mohawk. I must have been 3 or 4.

I just plowed around 4 - 6 inches and plan to do it again before dark.
Check out the Bills game. It is snowing like a mofo.
