Updated Lake Effect Snow Totals In Western New York

The latest snowstorm to hit the Western New York region has again come with some power, as the cold and snow blew in off of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, dumping several more feet of snow on the region. While conditions weren't as bad as the first lake effect storm of the season, the weather still produced whiteout conditions from the PA border to Watertown, New York, and just about everywhere in between.

The weather also forced state officials to issue another state of emergency, along with school closures and driving bands to boot. This storm deposited large amounts of snow up and down the Great Lakes corridor, snarling travel from Michigan to New York.
