The National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Erie County on Saturday at 10:10 p.m., which will remain in force until Sunday at 7 p.m.
“Heavy lake effect snow expected,” the weather service said. The most persistent lake snows accumulate an additional 6 to 12 inches of snow. The surrounding southern suburbs and South Buffalo are predicted to receive the most snowfall in the Buffalo Metro area. The northern suburbs should have little or no snowfall.
“Travel will be very difficult in areas of heavy lake effect snow with deep snow cover on roads and extremely poor visibility,” according to the weather agency. “The weather during lake effect snow can range from dry conditions a few kilometers distant to bands of locally heavy snow with significantly limited visibility. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather. Think about postponing your trip. If you have to travel, drive very carefully. Give yourself more time to get to your destination and give yourself plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Steer clear of abrupt acceleration or braking, and exercise extra caution when turning or going up slopes.
