How does lake-effect snow affect Buffalo?

Buffalo sits directly downwind of Lake Erie, which stays relatively warm in early winter. Cold air moves over the open lake, picks up moisture, and dumps it as intense, narrow snow bands. This can drop 50 cm in a day locally while nearby areas stay dry. The Toronto Weather page explains similar lake-effect mechanics.
