"It looks like it's going to stay just cold enough to keep this an all-snow event, although it still could warm up enough to produce some rain."<BR/><BR/>Niziol stressed that while meteorologists were bracing for more than a foot of snow, there still were no clear-cut answers on the snow-rain question at mid-morning.<BR/><BR/>Forecasters, though, believe that if this is an all-snow event, its main target will be just south of Buffalo.<BR/><BR/>"I still feel that the heaviest brunt of the storm will be in the Southtowns down into ski country," Niziol said, referring to an area from Hamburg into Springville.<BR/><BR/>The whole region could be hit, though. The National Weather Service this morning issued a lake-effect advisory for northern Erie County and Genesee County, areas that could receive as much as 5 to 7 inches.<BR/><BR/>But forecasters still weren't sure this morning, noting that a change in the wind direction of only a couple of degrees can move the snow band 5 to 7 miles.<BR/><BR/>Any early-November storm dumping a foot of snow on the region conjures memories of last year's October surprise storm that damaged thousands of trees.<BR/><BR/>This storm comes 3• weeks later on the calendar, meaning that more leaves have fallen from the trees. It also means that those leaves that are on the trees don't have as much moisture and are more likely to fall off once a storm hits.<BR/><BR/>"There's always concern at this time of the year," Niziol said. "We do have some concerns, but not nearly as serious as last year."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952106609471548690.post-63279439411280691232007-11-06T08:00:00.000-05:002007-11-06T08:00:00.000-05:00Don't forget to drain the water out of your bird bath's so when it freezes, it won't break them.
