Intense lake-effect snow bands pummeled Buffalo and surrounding areas of western New York on Thursday, producing record-breaking snowfall and creating whiteout conditions on the roadways in areas that have been in the midst of a snow drought so far this winter.
A whopping 17.9 inches of snow fell in Buffalo on Thursday, with nearly 10 inches piling up by 10 a.m. EST. Previously, the highest daily snowfall for Jan. 6 was 7.3 inches from 1974. Jan. 6, 2022, is now also the second snowiest day for the month, according to the National Weather Service. The city just narrowly missed the monthly record of 18.3 inches which fell on Jan. 11, 1982.
