The brunt of Monday's lake-enhanced snowstorm struck south and east of Buffalo, leaving about a dozen school districts closed today and dumping from 4 to 15 inches of snow on those outlying counties.
The severity of the current storm can't be measured just in the snowfall amounts, National Weather Service meteorologists said. Persistent wind gusts of more than 40 mph in some spots made even a moderate amount of snow treacherous.
"In this case, even 6 or 7 inches, along with the strong winds, produced near-blizzard conditions," National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Sage said at mid-morning. "It's still pretty brutal in parts of the Southern Tier."
The highest unofficial snowfall total was recorded in Warsaw, in Wyoming County, where about 15 inches of snow fell.
