It gets most of its snow from Lake Erie, called lake-effect snow. When the wind comes from the WSW in the winter and brings cold air, the air picks up moisture from the lakes which rises and condenses into clouds and heavy snow. This snow then falls downwind on cities such as Buffalo on the lake's edge, and especially a little bit inland where higher elevations cause the atmosphere to drop even more of its snow.
