Buffalo: lake-effect bands and the commute
Lake-effect snow can make a Buffalo-area forecast unusually local. Wind direction determines where narrow bands develop downwind of Lake Erie, so heavy snow in one part of the metro does not mean the same conditions everywhere. The National Weather Service’s November 2014 account illustrates how sharply snowfall can differ over just a few miles.
Use the Buffalo forecast above for its stated school day, then read Why these odds for the timing behind the result. A storm total alone does not describe the morning commute or afternoon dismissal. If your trip starts outside the city, search that town or neighborhood too. This city forecast estimates general school impacts; it does not announce a district decision.
