This week's lake-effect snowfall in the province is predicted to be paralyzing.

Forecasters say the multi-day snowfall will start on Wednesday evening and cover the whole week.

It will finish with snow reckoned in feet around Buffalo and Watertown.

Thursday morning was expected to accumulate 9 inches of snowfall.

Lake-effect snowfall will happen in the east and southeast of the Great Lakes.

Freezing air coming from Canada will hasten the cloud-forming process through Lake Erie and Lake Ontario's warm water.

[{ "selector": ".kptgc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".enkaa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 453px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Warm water will push the air to rise, initiating clouds and later snowfall.

It will affect the region's likely 4 feet of snow accumulation.
