Snow virga is a weather phenomenon that occurs when snow falls from high-altitude clouds but evaporates before reaching the ground. This results in streaks or wisps of falling snow that do not actually accumulate on the surface. Snow virga is often a sign of a dry atmosphere near the ground.
Just because snow stays on the ground for more than three days does not guarantee that it will snow again. The weather patterns in the area, temperature, and humidity levels will determine if it will snow again. Snowfall depends on a variety of factors, so there is no direct correlation between snow on the ground and future snowfall.
Buffalo experienced a record-breaking snowfall during the winter of 2009-2010, with a total accumulation of 94.9 inches. This exceptionally heavy snowfall led to widespread disruptions, including school closures and transportation challenges in the region.
There are two main types of blizzards: ground blizzards and snow blizzards. Ground blizzards occur when existing snow is lifted from the ground and blown by strong winds, causing reduced visibility. Snow blizzards happen when falling or blowing snow combines with strong winds to create hazardous conditions.
Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
