Wider weather episode

A frontal boundary slowly sagged southward through the area. This allowed for deep cold air to make its way south of the Pennsylvania state line. A series of weak disturbances then worked down this front bringing several rounds of moderate to heavy snow. The heaviest snow fell in the evening of February 3 for most areas. This occurred after a slow changeover from rain to snow as the front sagged southward. By the end of the event, many portions of the area received more than a foot of snow. Selected reports include 16.5 inches in Lockport, 12.5 inches in Kenmore, 12.3 inches in Gerry, 16.8 inches in Perrysburg, 13.6 inches in Sardinia, 10.2 inches in Medina, 15 inches in Webster, 12 inches in Batavia, 13 inches in Attica, 12.6 inches in Dansville, 10.8 inches in Alfred, 14 inches in Marion, 11.5 inches in Fulton, 8.3 inches in Watertown, 11.5 inches in Constableville, and 9.2 inches in Bristol Harbor.
