How far does lake effect snow travel from a lake?

It can travel several hundreds of miles, but it won't drop a lot of snow so far unless it is forced upwards by mountains (southwestern PA gets a lot of snow this way). For example, snow bands off Ontario have been known to travel all the way to the Atlantic, though by that time they rarely do anything more than just whiten the ground.


Why does buffalo new york get a lot of snow?

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.
