This is a 0.5 degree reflectivity radar loop from the National Weather Service near Binghamton, NY. The animation was from 1:05 PM EST November 19th to 6:33 PM EST November 22, 2016. During the first 14 seconds of the video a low pressure system moves across the area. The wind direction changes to a northwest flow as the low pressure system moves east of the area, and lake effect snow bands develop after about 14 seconds into the video. The heavier snow producing bands are shown in green and are oriented from northwest to southeast, or from the upper left to lower right.

Additional information about weather radar.

A low pressure system moves across the area. The wind direction changes to a northwest flow as the low pressure system moves east of the area, and lake effect snow bands develop producing localized heavy snow.
