Buffalo is bracing for one of its biggest snowstorms in years, just in time for the Bills’ Week 11 home tilt versus the Browns. We all remember the epic “Snovertime” game of 2017, but conditions for this Sunday are shaping up to be downright concerning.
Buffalo and suburbs south of it could receive as much as three to six feet of snow by Sunday,. Thursday night into Friday and Saturday into Saturday night are expected to see the heaviest snowfall. Travel is strongly discouraged “during the height of the event” and could be “difficult to nearly impossible,” AccuWeather said. November lake-effect snow events can completely shut down highways and could potentially leave fans — or members of the teams – stranded.
“All the top 10 snowfall events for Buffalo have occurred in November and December,” AccuWeather meteorologist Matt Benz said. “This is due to the fact that Lake Erie is still quite warm with no ice cover this time of the year. The lake can contribute more moisture when cold air moves overhead, helping to produce more intense bands of lake-effect snow.”that it’s very rare for forecasters use words like “crippling” and “paralyzing.
Jurkowski added that the region could see “thundersnow,” an ominous-sounding weather phenomenon that entails a thunderstorm with mostly snow falling rather than rain. The following graphics show that the area around the Bills’ Highmark Stadium is expected to get extreme impacts through at least Saturday morning and caution that “extensive and widespread closures and disruptions to infrastructure may occur.”
Where the lake effect is the most intense and persistent, snow will be measured in feet, not inches. Travel within these bands will be extremely dangerous, if not impossible. This will especially be the case across the Buffalo Metro Friday and Friday night.
