Intense lake-effect snow bands off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are causing heavy snowfall in areas like Buffalo, Cleveland, and Syracuse. The bands have occasionally produced thundersnow, and concerns about travel safety have been raised. The snow bands are being closely monitored by weather experts, with the Lake Ontario band expected to move towards Syracuse. The situation has led to picturesque scenes and challenges for residents and travelers in the affected regions.

Wow, look at the north wall of the Lake Ontario snow band from @sunyoswego!! https://t.co/8Jq9YigmBU
The Lake Ontario band has moved south of the @sunyoswego campus (looking west) now and the skies are clearing nicely. #winter https://t.co/kk52rlV6rj
Take a drive through the fresh fallen snow in Cleveland this morning! ☃️ #OHwx https://t.co/iuqvfd2Ts3
The VAD Wind Profile from @NWSBUFFALO is showing a slight veering of the direction more NNW aloft in the last few frames. The Lake Ontario band should be making a move toward @Syracuse soon. @NWSBinghamton https://t.co/6AbFVjzztJ
The Lake Ontario band is starting to drift south. It's expected to continue moving south across #Syracuse and the NWS Thruway (I-90) early this afternoon. I am VERY concerned about travel through that area this afternoon. By prepared. #winter @NWSBinghamton @foxweather https://t.co/LFfuyYO7OY
WOW!! Being a WNY native, can FEEL that weather, all those clouds are a direct result of that cold air coming across this huge inland fresh water sea called Lake Erie. Sunset Bay south of #Buffalo, NY. @hdontap @foxweather @NWSBUFFALO @NWSWPC https://t.co/tR3VwEo6nt

This remains a very heavy lake effect #snow band off Lake Erie. It has occasionally produced #thundersnow. That I know makes @JimCantore excited! #NYwx https://t.co/vRnDvmqXgg
#weatherpicofday Sun peaks over intense lake effect band feeding off Lake Erie and dumping heavy snow over Buffalo, NY on 30 January 2019. It's pretty incredible to get such well-defined bands like this. #NYwx https://t.co/LCB7jjjZnn
Here it is folks, 225 mile long, 50 mile wide body of water called Lake Erie providing heat and moisture into the overriding cold air resulting in lake-effect #snow. Sunset Bay, Lake Erie south of Buffalo looking into the south WALL of the band. H/t to @hdontap @NWSBUFFALO https://t.co/xynlS1CsaF
Don't Be Fooled!! This is a radar mosaic of the lake-effect snow band over Lake Erie. The #Buffalo and #Cleveland radars are detecting the band but the beam overshoots the band over the mid-distance from both radars. #weather https://t.co/qOOSPNgg3A
