Niagara River hike out into Lake Erie to check in on the ice cover! #NYwx

Timelapse of tonight’s sunset over Lake Erie. Chunks of ice continue to break away and float down the Niagara.

Front just rolled in off Lake Erie into Buffalo this evening. Timelapse of a nice shelf cloud on approach. #NYwx #skywx #wxsky

Flashback to 10 years ago when the south side of the Buffalo Metro area was getting clobbered by a historic lake effect snow band. Rates exceeded 6”/hr and upwards of 65” of snow was observed during the first 24 hours of the storm. #NYwx #WXsky #SkyWX

Flashback to 10 years ago today. The Buffalo area was in the midst of an intense lake effect snow event that dumped up to 65” of snow in the first 24 hours of the storm. #NYwx
