Where it snows most in New York
Cold winds crossing Lake Erie and Lake Ontario pick up moisture and drop it as bands of heavy snow on the land downwind. The Tug Hill Plateau east of Lake Ontario and the hills south of Buffalo get the most. New York City, far from the lakes, relies on coastal storms instead.
