Pretty much. Buffalo routinely gets hosed by blizzard conditions that don’t usually affect the cities on the northern side of the same lake (Toronto, Mississauga, etc). It’s feature of being on the south side of one of the Great Lakes.
I remember hearing about one year where Buffalo got 6 feet overnight, or some other complete bullshit.
2017, in Erie, we got 5 feet of snow in a 24 hour period over Christmas. Not sure what buffalo got but I imagine they had quite a bit themselves, as well.

Thanks! So is this a legit “blizzard” in the pic just rolling up on them out of nowhere?
This picture isn’t a blizzard. Just a typical lake effect storm.
Looks a lot like Aphid, aka Storm Knife we got 10 or so years ago.
I remember a storm when we were living in Rochester, we expected 6 feet over couple/few days… Buffalo was expecting 9
(i don’t recall the reports after, what we/they actually got, it was the forecast that stuck in my memory)
