Soaking rains on the 30th caused significant rises in area river and creek levels. The rapid rise resulted in an ice jam on Cazenovia Creek in Erie County. In West Seneca, basement and road flooding occurred in the Parkside/Willowdale neighborhood. The jam broke later in the morning and the water levels receded.
