Up to six feet of snow which fell during two lake effect events the previous week melted as temperatures climbed into the 60s. Snow water equivalents ranged from four to six inches. The melting snow combined a limited rainfall to produce some urban and river flooding over the lake-effect snow affected area. Buffalo Creek at Gardenville (flood stage 7 feet) crested at 8.90 feet at 11:00AM on the 24th. Cayuga Creek at Lancaster (flood stage 8 feet) crested at 9.29 feet at 5:45PM on the 24th. Caz
