Environment Canada issued a snow squall watch for Niagara falls Ontario,they're calling for 4 inches tonight and another 5 tomorrow.

Niagara Falls - Welland - Southern Niagara Region

8:39 PM EST Thursday 08 December 2011

Snow squall watch for

Niagara Falls - Welland - Southern Niagara Region continued

Snow squalls likely from tonight to Friday afternoon.

Cold westerly winds over the relatively warm waters of Northern Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will continue to generate locally heavy flurries from time to time and move into the Parry Sound - Muskoka and Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet regions. Snow squalls may temporarily affect the Southern Haliburton region this evening.

Conditions will become more favourable for stronger and more organized snow squalls to develop late this evening across Northern Georgian Bay and move into the Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet region. Local snowfall amounts of 10 cm tonight and 15 cm on Friday will be possible there.

Over the Parry Sound - Muskoka region tonight and Friday. Weaker bands of lake effect snow are expected to continue. Current indications suggest that conditions over Southern Georgian Bay will become more favourable for snow squalls to develop Friday night as the winds becoming more northwesterly.

Over the Lower Great Lakes, conditions will become more favourable for snow squalls to develop over Lake Erie overnight. Southwesterly winds could bring 10 cm of wet snow into the Niagara Falls - Welland - Southern Niagara Region tonight and another 15 cm on Friday. However, the snow should be wet enough to melt on most Major roads initially but will accumulate enough before day break to affect travel.

Driving conditions will deteriorate tonight with accumulating snow on untreated roads. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination.

where do you live? There was a solid coating in most places at 7-10 am...BUF airport had 1.2"..it's melted since. It was general snowfall from the warm advection...not true lake-effect.

oh weird...whoops. My bad on that forecast yesterday thinking no rain.

I got like 0.5" in West Seneca. The band will come back in the few hours...and hopefully it drops a few inches on those who haven't gotten much on it's way down south.

If the return band fizzles, most locations will barely meet advisory criteria, let alone warning criteria. Grass is already poking through the snow here, and all pavement is dry...

Yeah I think warning criteria anywhere looks tough...advisory is doable depending on how long the band stay in your particular location.

Lockport already has 5-6 inches with another 2-4 coming through. They are one of few locations to possibly hit warning criteria. As pointed out that didn't look like LES eariler, Looked more enhanced from the warm air advection as the Met brought out. If the band comes through later in the day after the sun is down, I could see shooting up the whole fetch of lake erie to get 4-6 through most of the metro.
