Note that you can always add more points to your dataset--that's up to you. But Debbie's right about this--most of the heavy snowfall is southwest of downtown Buffalo. (Remember also that I spent 7 years living in Rochester, NY, about 60 miles east of Buffalo. I used to live with the lake effect snow, so I really understand how strongly localized it can be. It can be strikingly local. This is the effect I think we're seeing.)

Snowfall totals: ...While searching for more data. <br /><br />Snowfall totals: <br />65 inches in 24 hours: The highest snowfall total has been recorded in Cheektowaga, which received 65 inches (165 centimetres) in 24 hours. That much snow in 24 hours may rank among the top five fastest snowfalls ever in the region, according to National Weather Service meteorologist David Church.<br />Between 1 and three feet of snow is expected to fall on Thursday, which could bring the weekly snowfall total for the region close to the yearly average: 93.6 inches (nearly 238 cm), or nearly eight feet (2.4 metres).<br /><br />Read more: http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/buffalo-snowstorm-by-the-numbers-1.2110936#ixzz3Jq1q4T3R<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/buffalo-snow-by-the-numbers/40219/" rel="nofollow">Buffalo snow: By the numbers and with video</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=315" rel="nofollow">Greatest 24-hour Snowfall on Record for the U.S.?</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/weather-infographics/winter-storms-types" rel="nofollow">Winter Storms, Infographic</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/nwcc/rgrpt?report=snowmonth_hist" rel="nofollow">Historical Snowfall.

There you will find the incredible amounts of snow. Anne and I had to search for towns south of Buffalo and then get the data for those towns.

I tried sites that feed Weather apps and I guess snow has maybe a special name.

I have gathered all my data on a spreadsheet however I can see looking at the numbers that they are either inaccurate or they mean something different than I expect. The numbers fall far short of what I see being reported in news articles and weather maps. Are others getting good data?Rosemary Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291661159622665464noreply@blogger.com
