The episode as NWS BUF wrote it up.
A major thaw and additional rainfall resulted in rapid snowmelt and runoff resulting in several area creeks exceeding their flood stage. Two to five inches of water in the snowpack quickly melted as temperatures climbed into the upper 50s and 60s. Ellicott Creek at Williamsville (flood stage 8 feet) crested at 8.3 feet. Some flooding occurred along the creek from Lancaster through Cheektowaga to Williamsville. Tonawanda Creek at Batavia (flood stage 9 feet) crested at 10.7 feet and at Rapids (flood stage 12 feet) crested at 14.38 feet. Flooding occurred and/or roads were closed in Batavia, near Kibbe Park, and in Amherst, Clarence and Newstead. Black Creek at Churchville (flood stage 6 feet) crested at 7.64 feet. Some backyard and basement flooding occurred from Churchville to Chili. Oatka Creek at Garbutt (flood stage 6 feet) crested at 7.27 feet. Basement flooding was reported in Scottsville and Garbutt and some low lying agricultural land was inundated.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
720 AM EST THU FEB 12 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO THIS MORNING WILL
REACH NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON. MUCH COLDER AIR SWEEPING INTO THE
REGION BEHIND THIS LOW WILL CHANGE ANY RAIN SHOWERS OVER TO
ACCUMULATING SNOW...ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS. RELATIVELY DRY AND
SEASONABLY CHILLY CONDITIONS WILL THEN FOLLOW FOR THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE COLDER AIR IS SURGING IN MORE QUICKLY THAN EXPECTED. THIS HAS
CAUSED A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER AND DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE WHERE THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW OFF THE ICE COVERED LAKE HAS COOLED TEMPERATURES MORE
QUICKLY. BASED ON THIS TREND...HAVE INCREASED SNOW ACCUMULATIONS A
GENERAL 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER.
TEMPERATURES FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY EASTWARD TO THE NORTH ARE STILL
MILD ENOUGH FOR JUST RAIN...BUT AS TEMPERATURES COOL BEHIND THE
FRONT LATER THIS MORNING THE RAIN WILL MIX WITH SNOW...THEN CHANGE
TO ALL SNOW BY AFTERNOON. EXPECT A COUPLE INCHES SNOW ACROSS THESE
AREAS...WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER
ACCUMULATIONS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE VERY STRONG WINDS THAT IMPACTED AREAS JUST DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE
EARLIER THIS MORNING HAVE SUBSIDED SOMEWHAT. HOWEVER...THE
ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE RISE MAX OVER NORTHEAST OHIO AND WESTERN LAKE
ERIE WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK AND THE GENESEE
VALLEY LATER THIS MORNING. SINCE THIS FEATURE IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE WHICH CAN PROMOTE THE DOWNWIND TRANSFER OF
HIGHER WINDS ALOFT...EXPECT THE WINDS TO PICK UP FROM WEST TO EAST
AS THE MORNING WEARS ON. BASED ON THIS TREND...WILL LEAVE UP THE
HIGH WIND WARNINGS.
THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL STILL CREATE
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS AS THE DAY WEARS ON. THEREFORE...WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES REMAIN IN PLACE AS OUTLINED BELOW.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN
BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT. IN TERMS OF TOTAL SNOWFALL...EXPECT
THE GREATEST ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN TIER AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO DUE TO THE WEST TO NORTHWEST
UPSLOPE COMPONENT. WINDS WILL ALSO DIE DOWN TONIGHT AS THE LOW
CONTINUES TO MOVE OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC.
IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...READINGS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL FROM WEST
TO EAST AS COLDER AIR ADVECTS IN BEHIND THE PASSING COLD FRONT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION
FRIDAY. COLDER AIR FILTER DOWN ACROSS THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL KEEP THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WEAK LAKE EFFECT SNOWS SOUTHEAST
OF LAKE ONTARIO AND SOME UPSLOPE SNOWS ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE.
INCREASING SHEAR COMBINED WITH DRIER AIR ADVECTING DOWN ACROSS THE
LOWER LAKES ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING RIDGE SHOULD END ANY LAKE
SNOWS BY FRIDAY EVENING. WEAK RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY SHOULD PROVIDE QUITE WEATHER. LATEST GFS AND NAM
SUGGESTING A WEAK LOW TRACKING THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHICH COULD PROVIDE AND A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER AS A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDS INTO
SOUTHERN NEW YORK.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MODELS DIVERGE DURING THE PERIOD, BUT KEEP THE MAIN STORM TRACK
SOUTH OF OUR AREA. THERE IS AGREEMENT ON A NORTHERLY FLOW OF COLD
AIR MONDAY AND WE HAVE A CHANCE OF LAKE SNOWS SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE ECMWF SHOWS A STORM MOVING ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS WEDNESDAY
WHICH GIVES A CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE SOUTHERN TIER.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VERY MOIST AIR WORKING IN BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW THAT WILL BE
PASSING JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL CAUSE CIGS/VSBSY TO LOWER TO
IFR AS THE DAY WEARS ON. SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL IMPACT THE
WESTERN TAF SITES THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WHILE AREAS TO THE EAST WILL
SEE CONDITIONS LOWERING TO IFR AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW CHANGES TO
ALL SNOW.
SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST THIS MORNING AS THE
COLDER AIR DEEPENS ACROSS THE AREA.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING...THEN GRADUALLY TAPER OFF
OVERNIGHT.
OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MVFR/IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS.
SATURDAY...MVFR POSSIBLE IN SNOW.
SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...MVFR IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO GALE FORCE ON LAKE ONTARIO BETWEEN 7 AM AND
10 AM THIS MORNING...AS A DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PASSES JUST TO
THE NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO. WINDS GUSTS COULD BRIEFLY APPROACH
STORM FORCE LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY VEER TO NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH BY THIS EVENING. GALE
WARNINGS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ON LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH 8 PM THIS
EVENING. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHERLIES CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
EXTENSIVE SNOWMELT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS COUPLED WITH A HALF
TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN WEDNESDAY LED TO A BREAK UP OF
MOST ICE JAMS ON BUFFALO AREA CREEKS. THERE ARE STILL A COUPLE WORTH
NOTING. ONE NEAR THE CAZENOVIA STREET BRIDGE IN SOUTH BUFFALO ON
CAZENOVIA CREEK AND ONE AT THE MOUTH OF CATTARAUGUS CREEK AT SUNSET
BAY.
THE RAINFALL CAUSED SIGNIFICANT RISES ON ALL WATERWAYS IN WESTERN
NEW YORK AND WE WILL CONTINUE MONITOR THEM CLOSELY. A FLOOD WARNING
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SUNSET BAY AREA AT THE MOUTH OF
CATTARAUGUS CREEK. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EVACUATED FROM THEIR HOMES AS
WATER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE AT LEAST THROUGH THIS MORNING.
THE ICE JAM MAY BE WORSENED BY STRONG WEST WINDS TODAY ALTHOUGH THE
RUNOFF SHOULD BEGIN TO SUBSIDE.
IT STILL APPEARS AT THIS TIME THAT CAYUGA CREEK AND CAZENOVIA CREEK
WILL GO JUST ABOVE THEIR FLOOD STAGES EARLY THIS MORNING.
A FLOOD WARNING IS ALSO IN EFFECT FOR TONAWANDA CREEK NEAR BATAVIA.
THE CREEK IS EXPECTED TO GO JUST ABOVE FLOOD STAGE LATE THIS
MORNING.
WE ARE ALSO KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON ELLICOTT CREEK FOR LATER TODAY
AND FOR TONAWANDA CREEK NEAR RAPIDS WHERE FLOOD WARNINGS MAY
EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.
KEEP UP TO DATE WITH FLOOD STATEMENTS.
