Yes, the southtowns always got more snow than the city.
From OP down to Ellicottville(Holiday valley) always got the most.
From Hamburg down to Fredownia there would always be white out conditions on the freeway I90 along the lake.
My dad bought their houses north of Buffalo for that reason. He grew up in south Buffalo and had enough of the snow.
I used to ski at Holiday Valley and have driven through enough white outs on the 219.
