| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Deep low pressure tracked from Kentucky to New England and brought heavy snow to the entire region. The storm began as a period of freezing rain and sleet Friday evening the 20th and changed over to snow early Saturday morning. The heaviest snow from the storm fell over the northern counties from the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area to Rochester and Oswego county. It was the largest snowfall of the entire winter season in the Buffalo metro area. The snow made roadways extremely slick and innumerable accidents resulted. The heavy ice and snow on power lines and trees resulted in scattered power outages throughout the area. Specific snowfall reports included: 16" in Colden; 13" in Fulton, Warsaw, Grand Island, and Niagara Falls; 12" in Rochester and Buffalo; 11" in Perrysburg, Victor and Fair Haven; 10" in Albion, Angelica, Newark and Montague; and 8" in Mount Morris and Watertown. |
