Impressive time lapse of lake effect snow

Tony Honchar

Wow!  That's all I have to say of this time lapse video of intense lake-effect snow Tuesday over Buffalo, NY.  The extreme cold air aloft moving over the still relatively warm lake waters created some very impressive vertical motion throughout the atmosphere!   One of our First Warn Weather Watchers, Tony Honchar, was out in Buffalo yesterday and snapped this photo. Simply amazing!
