Lake effect snow is expected to increase dramatically, with parts of the city possibly buried under 3 to 4 feet of snow.Asst. Chief Meteorologist David Heckard looks at lake effect snow and some big impacts for western New York.The city averages 95.4 inches of snow a year. That’s nearly 8 feet of snow, making Buffalo one of the snowiest cities in the entire United States.
This is why cities like Chicago and Milwaukee pick up minimal lake effect snowfall, while other areas like Cleveland and Buffalo receive abundant lake effect snow.The setup for lake effect snow in Buffalo is highly favorable this week, which is why alarms are sounding for the significant snow that is likely ahead.
The wind will likely remain consistent out of the west-southwest, which will keep the snow band over the same areas of multiple hours. While Buffalo is used to heavy snow, the event this week could be historic — especially for November.That’s nearly 3 to 4 feet of snow through Saturday.Snow of that magnitude will likely cripple transportation throughout the city.
