An INCREDIBLE early season lake effect snowstorm struck areas downwind of Lake Erie on Thursday and Thursday night, with a monster snow band pummeling the Buffalo, NY area for several hours. Officially, 14 inches of snow fell at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, with 2 feet falling in the suburbs. 220,000 people in the area are without power, and 80% of the roads are impassable!! Check out the radar image below of the band from around midnight EDT. You can see from the radar appearance that heavy rain was falling from the band over the warm lake, with snow falling over land (feathery nature of the radar echoes). Thunder and lightning was common in this band. INCREDIBLE!!!
