Lake effect snows developed on Thursday (20th) as a west to northwest flow set up off Lake Erie and brought narrow streamers of heavy snow into Chautauqua County. Several inches fell during the afternoon. Meanwhile, a weak secondary front and wind shift dropped south across New York and set up from near Erie across Pennsylvania to near Philadelphia. A band of heavy snow set up along this convergence line, fed at its western end by Lake Erie. This band dropped just to the south of Chautauqua County during the evening, after 6 to 8 inch totals. Winds turned north-northeasterly and another band set up from Dunkirk to Ripley which became heavy overnight and early Friday morning as winds backed to north-northwest. Six to twelve inches fell during this phase along the lakeshore. The flow turned strong northwest later Friday and remained so through Saturday. This flow was unusually cold for November but very dry, so multiple bands formed off Lake Ontario and continued for 36 to 48 hours. Total snowfall for the entire event exceeded a foot over most of Chautauqua County. Eight to fourteen inches fell for the period from Wayne to Oswego counties.
