Lake effect snow WARNING for Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus Counties until 1 p.m. Friday.
Lake effect snow band now progressing southward and dropping intensity to an inch an hour or less into the S.Tier. Expect 4-8" of additional accumulation as the band sinks southward. Some areas across Central and Southern Erie Counties received 2 to 3+ feet of snow. With the second round of lake snow the immediate southtowns and eastern locations received 12-18"+.
It's a cold one on Friday in the 20s but the winds will be much calmer and so will the sky as lake snow ends across the S.Tier.
Milder air and rain showers are back in the picture by Sunday.
