These snowbands, formed on northeast winds, exhibit a feature called "parallel roll convection". The bands look like numerous narrow cloud streets or fingers extending off Lake Ontario. A typical drive along Route 104, which parallels the south shore of the Lake will take you in and out of heavy snowbursts, sunny skies one minute, snow the next! You can also see a higher altitude (non lake-effect) cloud running east-west along the south shore of the Lake. One reason you can tell it's higher is that it is actually casting a shadow (the dark area to the north of the cloud) running from Rochester to Oswego. Hermes - Radar

Although it's a bit tough to see, you can pick out the bands north of Buffalo as northeast-southwest red streamers. The large area to the south of Buffalo is associated with a cloud shield from the Low that is moving north through the Ohio Valley.
