Cold west to northwest flow across Lake Erie caused lake effect snow showers to develop just before daybreak on November 13th. The snow showers picked up in intensity during the daytime hours of the 13th with periods of heavy snow throughout the day. The heaviest snow initially was close to the Lake Erie Shoreline. The snow showers became more scattered during the evening of the 13th and then reorganized by early on the 14th as the flow became northwest. This change spread the heavier snow inland across Erie County. The snow diminished in intensity and coverage during the evening of the 14th and ended early on the 15th. Snowfall rates at times exceeded an inch per hour and visibilities were a half mile or less. Snowfall accumulations in Erie County ranged from 10 to 14 inches across the northern half of the county with lesser amounts in the south.  The heaviest snow fell during the daylight hours of the 13th.   Some of the higher totals included 17.0 inches south of North East and 16.8 inches in Amity Township.  12.6 inches of snow fell at Erie International Airport on the 13th with 7.8 inches falling between 7 am and 1 pm.  Another 3.0 inches fell on the 14th and 15th combined giving a storm total of 15.6 inches.  This was the first significant snow of the season and travel was severely hampered.
