New York media outlets and property owners are still abuzz this week discussing the serious snowfall which caught Buffalo and much of the Great Lakes region highly off-guard that week. The storm which brought some 90 inches of snow to the Buffalo area was reportedly caused by the rapidly fluctuating temperatures. The conditions are known as the lake effect, and are common in communities geographically located next to large bodies of water. The lake effect occurs when cold air moves over warmer bodies of water causing the cold air to become warm, rise and coalesce into clouds and eventually precipitation.

The snow fall alone caused structural damages and business interruption for much of the areas as major parts of the highways were closed, travel bans were issued and snow piled up. Officials have cautioned that trees weakened by heavy snowfall and saturated soil could come crashing down and that he threat of flooding as the massive amounts of snow melt are high. In fact, the National Weather Service issued flood warnings across several counties in the Buffalo area effective through this week.

Road closures and the potential for structural damage from floods, winds, snow, and other elements are huge opportunities for Buffalo businesses, particularly those in the construction, warehouse, distribution, and trucking industries to experience losses. If this early weather pattern and last winter were any indication of the season to come, New York businesses could face another year of substantial losses. The Insurance Information Institute predicts this year’s losses could amass to some $2.5 billion, up dramatically from the $1.8 billion lost during the winter of 2013.
