The natural climate of Buffalo

Buffalo is famous for its bad weather, but it is not. Among all the major cities in northeast China, Buffalo is the driest and sunniest. Of course, the rainfall is still enough to keep the plants green and lush, which makes the weather in late summer quite humid. Many residents installed air conditioners and dug swimming pools, which surprised travelers who thought there was only ice and snow there. The winter in the local area is indeed longer than that in other areas, and under the influence of the Great Lakes effect, the average snowfall is more than that in most northern cities, but there are also many mild days in the middle. Ski resorts in the southern suburbs of the city are twice as many as those in the snowy urban areas, and they are the best winter resorts in Northeast China.

Occasionally, snowstorms are caused by cold winds blowing to the warm water surface of Lake Erie. The formed snow belt is only 16-24 km wide. Somewhere, the sky is clear in Wan Li, but two or three kilometers away, white snow flowers are flying from the lake. Because Lake Erie is shallower than the other four lakes, some lakes will freeze in winter, and then the snow will stop. The most famous snowstorm in history may be the one in 1977, and around Christmas in 20001and 5438+0 in 2006. Buffalo competes with other big cities in northern new york for the "Golden Snowball Award" every year.

A fact ignored by the media is that buffaloes also benefit from the supervision of Lake Erie. The cool southwest wind relieves the hottest weather, so summer is very pleasant. According to official meteorological records, only three cities in the United States have never recorded temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, one of which is Buffalo (ironically, the other two are Miami and Honolulu). It is also a big city with the largest number of private swimming pools per capita in the United States. All kinds of water activities are very popular, and the conditions for fishing are unique, because it has the richest freshwater fish resources in the United States (niagara river, Lake Erie and various tributaries can fish, including glass bass, yellow bass, large and small mouth bass, trout, northern pike, North American pike and imported salmon).
