Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeLake effect snow squalls developed as cold air crossed the warmer waters of the Great Lakes. The southern suburbs of Buffalo received nearly two feet of snow on New Years eve. In some communities, major roads and businesses were closed and holiday events were cancelled. Snow fell at the rate of one to two inches per hour. The snow and blowing snow created near blizzard conditions and were blamed for numerous auto accidents (one fatal in Chautauqua county). Snowfall amounts included 23" in Orchard Park; 22" in Hamburg; 21" in East Aurora; and 20" in Blasdell. The snow squalls continued into the new year.
