They’ve had numerous 0 or 1/16th mile visibility reports over the past couple hours, I’m not so sure that’s sensor failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Band won’t move much through tomorrow The expectation is that the lake band will meander a bit to the north and south, but it appears that it will remain parked across the Buffalo metro area at least through tonight and perhaps even through the day Saturday as steering winds remain southwesterly.

Hoosier Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 What makes this especially dangerous is all the power outages. If you don't have a generator and you try to get to somewhere warm, there's a real possibility of getting stuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
