Important Takeaways:

  • The spectacular snow event fueled by brutally cold air and particularly warm lake water has been going on since Friday, with snowfall rates exceeding 4 inches per hour at times into Saturday. Thunder and lightning accompanied the snowfall, which dumped more than 5 feet on New York’s Tug Hill Plateau. Barnes Corners, just south of Watertown, New York, tallied 65.5 inches. Nearby Montague got 60 inches.
  • Elsewhere in New York, Cassadaga — about 10 miles inland from Lake Erie and midway between Buffalo and Erie, Pennsylvania — wound up with 54.1 inches. Downtown Buffalo mostly missed out, logging only 1.2 inches. Orchard Park, just 14 miles to the south, picked up 26.2 inches.
