BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Buffalo saw one of its snowiest December 17th's on record yesterday with an official total of 10.2" of snowfall.

The snowy salvos will be turned off for metro Buffalo today, and effectively for the city, this event is over. Lake effect snow warnings for Buffalo points north have been allowed to expire.

That is NOT the case, however, for areas south of Buffalo. This is where the lake effect snows will continue to fly, particularly into southern Erie county, and the Southern Tier. Lake effect snows will continue here through most of Monday.

Expect quiet weather for Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of what should be a MESSY storm system for the end of the week: just in time for holiday travel!
