Can confirm (from my own personal shoveling experience) that we did get nearly 3 feet of snow in the Buffalo Southtowns.

Definitely the nastiest storm of the season so far but this should start to at least cool the lake down a bit more.

These are some of the latest amounts from the National Weather Service in Buffalo as of 11:30 a.m. this morning on how much snow has fallen.

Expecting another update in a little bit but this band has been headed right to the Buffalo Southtowns.
December 12, 2024 at 7:13 PM
7:25AM UPDATE: This substantial band of lake effect is definitely intense. Just over 11 miles wide and it is targeting Hamburg, Angola, Orchard Park, East Aurora, and Eden.

More to come throughout the day.

What a beautiful view of #Pittsburgh this morning!

It'll be a cold one but I'll have the details on a pretty decent weekend forecast on KDKA-TV from 5 to 8 a.m. and from 10 to 11 a.m.!

6:01PM UDPATE: We're definitely settling into cooler temperatures around Pittsburgh. Much colder now than it was yesterday at this time.

Colder air is sticking around this time!
November 29, 2024 at 11:01 PM
4:20PM UPDATE: Here are two views of the 90 at Dunkirk (Exit 59) and Ripley (Exit 61). Miserable conditions and that snow is locked in over the Thruway at this point. Conditions likely to continue getting worse.

2:50PM UPDATE: The lake effect band has jogged a *little* further north. Still hugging the lakeshore with some intense snow primarily around Dunkirk and Silver Creek.
November 29, 2024 at 7:51 PM
8:15AM UPDATE: Lake effect band squarely into Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. Expecting 1-2” per hour snowfall rates and some gusty winds making travel difficult.

JUST IN: A Lake Effect Snow Warning (in teal) has been issued for Southern Erie, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus Counties from 7am Friday to 7pm Monday.

This is going to be particularly concentrated for the Chautauqua Ridge and along the 90 into Erie, Pennsylvania and parts of Northeast Ohio.
November 27, 2024 at 5:28 PM
The trend is there to suggest that the Lake Effect Snow Machine is going to fire up as we head into the holiday long weekend.

Amounts are not up for discussion yet but this could be an event that begins Friday and lasts through Tuesday, with varying intensities.
