@geographyuncovered: Why does Buffalo get buried in snow while nearby towns don’t? When Arctic air crosses the warmer Great Lakes, it absorbs moisture from the open water and dumps it inland in narrow, intense snow bands. Cities like Buffalo sit directly in the path of prevailing winds off Lake Erie, placing them in the snowbelt. Wind + water + geography = feet of snow in days. Once the lakes freeze, the snow machine shuts down. #Geography #Buffalo #LakeEffectSnow #LakeMichigan #Snow
