Lake effect snow will then develop late tonight across Niagara County out ahead of a strong cold front... with the front then rapidly pushing the lake snows back southward and bringing a few quick inches of snow to areas northeast and east of Lakes Erie and Ontario during Saturday. Much colder air pouring across the region in the wake of the frontal passage will then help to generate locally heavy lake snows east and southeast of the lakes Saturday night through Sunday night. $$
