It’s just lake effect. Warm ass open water. Useless snow on useless flats. Maybe platty and gore will get some. Maybe Champlain will also deliver to novt

Amazing when you fly over the top of lake effect action. It can be absolutely nuking snow on the ground but you are usually in severe clear at 5000'. Not what you'd call a storm system from that vantage point and explains why it often doesn't stretch out too far from the lakes. Moisture is not very deep in the atmosphere.

Up to 4 feet..going to paralyze the whole area..tough place to live..

I wouldn't call lake effect a storm. It happens almost every year. Buffalo always gets the big snow early until Erie freezes over.

Powder fields are a lot of fun on a snowmobile.

We got a dusting in southern NH today from the lake effect. Pretty unusual, and widely scattered.

I like flying into snow, especially at night on approach. With the landing light on its like you're on the bridge of the Enterprise and the 'stars' are hurtling towards you at light speed.

If you're not having fun on a snowmobile in powder, you're not doing it right.

Watching the news...storm is huge..

Were you in West Yellowstone?

Latest radar shows it flattening out to more of a westerly flow into WNY. We went from 1-3 to 5-8 forecasted for south of Roch today.

Swain & Bristol may pick up a few inches but not going to help much on previously bare slopes.

Holiday Valley looks to be missing it.

Cross country skiers will be the big winners with this one.

Kissing Bridge looks to be the winner...
