Maximum Snowfall: Lake Erie 4" (Ellicottville); Lake Ontario 11" (Highmarket)

Duration: 18 hours +/-

Prime Feature: Marginal post frontal event. Very localized, elevation oriented.

The 2006-07 season's second event was a very localized marginal one which followed a frontal passage after a deep storm passage. Temperatures were just cold enough but as in many early season storms, the event was elevation dependent. A few inches fell over higher elevations southeast of Lake Erie in ski country, while 6-12 inches fell across much of the central and southern Tug Hill. The event began in the early morning hours on Sunday 29^th and tapered off by early evening.

This was the first time two events occurred in October in the 13 year record of
our network.

The event was marginal and affected a very limited sparsely populated area. It therefore earns one * star.

Here are some representative reports.
