ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — Heavy lake-effect snow bands intensified in the southtowns late Saturday morning, causing difficult driving conditions. A wall of lake effect rolled off Lake Erie and right into Orchard Park, Hamburg and Blasdell.

"Just another day in Buffalo, honestly," said Zak of Lackawanna.
Zak was surprised by how quickly the snow punched its way through, all while he was running errands off McKinley Parkway in Hamburg.
"Oh yeah, it wasn't like this when I left. It was just all of a sudden," added Zak. "I'm not trying to stay out in this for too long. Roads are getting dangerous, slippery."
Outside of Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, the lake effect snow machine was in full gear with the possibility of two inches per hour. By Monday, Orchard Park could see up to three feet of snow. But Bills fans at the stadium took it all in stride and said they'd be back for Sunday's game.
"I'm excited to bring a team from the West Coast over here into the snow," said Jim Fino of Lackawanna. "We should have a great game. It's always about the Bills Mafia and the Bills fans."
"Just getting ready for the game," said Lisa Carwas of Hamburg. "This is gonna be awesome."
