Winter Storm — Southern Erie, New York

2022-03-11 to 2022-03-12 · Southern Erie, New York

Wider weather episode

An unphased low pressure system advanced from south to north through New England. Snow pushed northward to the west of it through all of New York State. Most all areas saw modest accumulations, however in the higher terrain of western New York, accumulations were heavier. The system snow was supplemented by light lake effect as the low pressure system advanced northward and colder air wrapped into the area. Because of the evolution of the system and the incoming cold air, heavy snow amounts were almost exclusively in the higher terrain east of Lake Erie. Selected snow totals included 7.5 inches in Hamburg, 8.3 inches in Mayville, 13 inches in Warsaw, and 10.4 inches in Franklinville.
