Lake effect snow and dangerously low wind chills are on the way, but most of Chautauqua County is getting a brief respite from a lake effect storm that is now hitting the Buffalo area. The National Weather Service has the Buffalo area under a Lake Effect Snow warning until 10 pm. Meteorologist Tony Ansuini of the National Weather Service says Buffalo bound commuters will hit some pretty heavy lake effect snow today.
