Buffalo and parts of western New York could get several feet of snow during a multi-day storm starting Wednesday night.For western New York, snow typically is no big deal. But this week's lake effect snowfall in the region is expected to be "paralyzing," forecasters say.
As cold air moves in from Canada, it will race over the warmer water of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. That warmer water will cause the air to rise, forming clouds and eventually snow. Therefore, a lake-effect snow warning is in effect for the region stating 2 to 3 feet of snow accumulation is expected with the potential for up to 4 feet.
"Some major roadways could temporarily close," warns the Buffalo weather service. "The hazardous conditions will impact the Friday morning and evening commutes."Historical events include November 20, 2000, when many were stranded in their vehicles, as 2 feet of snow fell in less than 24 hours, and the twin storms that made "Snow-mageddon" infamous with over 5 feet of snow.
