An historic and major lake effect snow event will begin to die down across the Buffalo area this morning, after leaving some parts of that area buried under 2 feet of snow. Overnight, snow fell at a rate of 2 to 4 inches per hour, with thunder snow producing frequent lightning. In addition to the amount of snow, this has been a very heavy wet snow, resulting in over 250,000 people without power across the Buffalo area.
