A dangerous lake-effect snowstorm paralyzed parts of western and northern New York on Friday, with 0.91 meters of snow already on the ground in some places by early afternoon.

The storm's severity varied widely due to the peculiarities of lake-effect storms, which are caused by frigid winds picking up moisture from the warmer lakes, and dumping snow in narrow bands.

Residents in some parts of Buffalo awoke to blowing, heavy snow, punctuated by occasional claps of thunder, while just a few miles north, only a few inches of snow had fallen overnight and there were patches of blue sky.

Global's Chief Meteorologist Anthony Farnell is on the ground in Buffalo, N.Y., where he is engulfed in a massive pile of snow.
