Boy, is it windy out there in Western NY. To speak in the vernacular of the peasantry...
A strong cold front as ushered in high winds and rain but through the rest of the evening and early overnight we'll begin the transition to lake effect snow.
A Lake Effect Snow Warning is in effect for Northern Erie and Genesee Counties through noon Monday.
Accumulations may reach 4-7 inches tonight with an additional 2-3 inches early Monday leading to storm totals of 6-10 inches of accumulation. The higher amounts will likely be closer to the Buffalo south towns.

Day 3 of The Big Dig
Despite an overwhelming sentiment of anger amongst residents, Deputy Mayor Byron Brown continues to say he's doing a great job removing the piles of snow. Funnier than his efforts at damage control are the clowns standing behind him. At some point in their lives, their friends lied to them and told them they were important. An ability to make large donations to get a job does not make one important. Prestige comes with the ability to perform the job. We're seeing now how much of that ability they have. The crews are doing a great job. The people leading the operation. Not so much...

Pink Snow in Babcock Could Be Algae (Blogger's Opinion)
I read about this recently on a site I follow called Fark.com. Pink snow fell in the Philadelphia area just like we had in Buffalo. Some kid came out of his house and informed the scientists that he had looked it up on the internet. He believed it was due to an algae called chlamydomonas nivalis, more commonly known as watermelon snow. Later, scientists verified his claim.Could someone forward this article to the people investigating the pink snow in Buffalo? It sounds very similar to me but Buffalo's could also be from a company.
That's what I like about city neighborhoods. If this had happened in Orchard Park, there would be a town meeting called. The DEC would be called in to investigate. Schools would be closed and they'd be talking about making their kids wear surgical masks before they go outside. In Babcock, it was just a typical Wednesday. As long as the pink snow didn't affect Bingo at the community center, nobody really cared.
