Lake-effect snow continued to fall across the Southern Tier and ski country this morning after falling much of the night.
The heavy snow fall prompted the Town of Randolph to ban all unnecessary travel through 7 p.m. today.
Perrysburg recorded 18 inches of snow overnight, and areas north of Interstate 86 saw 5 to 6 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
Another band of lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario was hitting areas north of the Buffalo area, mostly along the shore in Orleans County.
Meteorologist Dave Thomas said the Southern Tier should expect another 3 to 6 inches of snow during the day today.
The Buffalo area was seeing some flurries this morning. The band of lake-enhanced snow was forecast to slowly move northward, hitting the Southtowns by late evening and getting up to Buffalo by around midnight, bringing 2 to 3 inches of snow.
The lake-effect snow was expected to continue Saturday. Thomas warned it “could be heavy at times.” It was expected to be heaviest in the areas between the City of Buffalo and ski country, although Buffalo would likely get another couple of inches.
A general snowfall was forecast for Sunday across the region, dropping “a couple of inches across the area,” Thomas said.
